Chickpea Edamame Salad is super easy and satisfying.  Enjoy this by itself as a main meal or as a side salad.  Most of us have these ingredients on hand – except for the edamame.  You can find shelled edamame at a Trader Joes, Whole Foods, or even at my favorite budget store Aldi.

You can make this in a matter of 15 minutes, but do allow at least 4 hours for the marinade to soak in so that the flavors blend.  The tartness of the dried cranberries offer a nice contrast to the rest of the ingredients.  Everyone loves it and it’s super easy and quick to make.

Instructions

Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it.  Stir to combine and let the flavors blend for at least 4 hours or overnight.  Voila!  Chickpea Edamame Salad.  You won’t have to tell anyone it’s healthy.
