At RBA, we love recipes that are both healthy and simple. So simple, in fact, our dietitians can make them in our office! We set out to make a healthy edamame salad in our Greenbelt office, with only a microwave to do the cooking. The best part of this recipe is that it is so versatile! You can use pasta instead of rice, and add any vegetables you want! We have made the recipe using bowtie pasta, and added shredded carrots and diced bell pepper. Yum!
