Edamame salad

Edamame sounds like a strange bean.  Many of us aren't aware that, it's nothing but soya bean, when it is young.  They harvest it before it hardens and turns into soya bean. It is mostly cultivated in Asian countries but became quite popular in the western world.  It is available in the market either fresh or frozen. Edamame is rich in Carbohydrate, protein, dietary fibre and other essential nutrients.

Celery- washed and cut in pieces

Edamame can be substituted with other beans for a change.
