I discovered this heart healthy, as well as sabroso/tasty, meal in the Go Red for Women Recipes for the Heart booklet. It contains edamame (green soybeans), which I love and is great for maintaining your weight without losing taste. Its also a no fuss recipe thats perfect for these hot summer days!

Edamame and Navy Bean Salad with Orange-Balsamic Dressing
- 1 1/2 cups of frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon balsammic vinegar (do not mix)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper1
- 15.5 ounce can of Navy Beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces mixed salad greens, torn into bite size pieces (about 2 cups)
- 1/4 medium cucumber sliced crosswise
- 1 medium Italian plum tomato diced
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup sliced radishes
Prepare the edamame using the package directions, omit the salt.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, 2 tablespoons vinegar, oil and pepper. Set aside
In a medium bowl stir together the edamame, navy beans, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature or cover and refrigerate until needed, up to 5 days.
At serving time, put the salad greens on plates. Top, in order, with the cucumber, tomato, carrot, radishes, and bean mixture. Pour the dressing over all.
I think the above salad goes well with the Simple Sangria by Julie, submitted in last week’s link-up. Let me know what you think.
Enjoy!

Speaking of sabroso, I found a recipe on Goya using traditional ingredients with a modern twist.
Ofelia: Can’t wait to check it out!

Ofelia – please share your recipe on Goya ingredients.
Love edamame, I buy them from Pret. Great healthy snack.
oh my goodness this sounds delicious! I love salad (not for diet reasons just in general lol) and I always need good dressing. This sounds like a wonderful new option to try out 🙂
orange balsamic dressing. This sounds tasty! Might have to try this! 🙂
This looks great and just perfect for a fresh summer meal. It’s so pretty with all the different colors of veggies included. I adore edamame … and it’s so healthy. I’ll bet one could use fresh spinach instead of salad greens and with the orange juice it would become an excellent source of iron.
Thanks for sharing this one with us … I’m always on the lookout for vegetarian/vegan dishes.
