My boyfriend and I wanted to incorporate more soy into our diets, and my sister introduced us to edamame. This is an easy way to use the frozen, shelled beans. The recipe takes a little time to assemble, but if you chop the vegetables while the barley cooks, it's ready in 25 minutes. -Maggie Knapp, Fort Worth, TX Ingredients:
5 teaspoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon whole-grain dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup uncooked pearl barley |
1 cup coarsely chopped red bell pepper |
3/4 cup chopped red onion |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans), thawed |
Directions:
1. To prepare dressing, combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended; set aside.
2. To prepare salad, cook barley according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Combine cooked barley, bell pepper, red onion, and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, tossing well to combine. Add the dressing, and toss gently to coat evenly. Let stand 15 minutes.
