EDAMAME SALAD WITH BROWN RICE AND SESAME DRESSING

That’s what I did and I don’t regret it one single bit. If you’re a sesame oil fan like me then this is the salad for you. It’s packed with so many good things. Edamame beans, brown rice, microgreens and pinto beans make up the bulk of this recipe along with some mandarins for a touch of sweetness.
