Easy Quinoa and Edamame Salad

Salad

This quinoa and edamame salad is a superfood dream! Packed full of flavor and nutrients, you will want to make this time and time again! This salad can be made as a main dish, side dish, potluck, or meal prep — it's pretty much a perfect salad. I've been guilty of making this last minute and serving it immediately without chilling. It is still amazing.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons liquid aminos (such as Bragg)

  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
