Marinated Edamame Salad

The word edamame means, "beans on branches." The edamame bean is actually a green soybean that is harvested early while the beans are still immature. It is high in protein, fiber, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. Even after boiling, they retain a crisp-tenderness and are quite delicious.
