And next week I should have something really exciting to share with you guys, but you’ll have to wait until then. I want to have it in my hands before I start bragging about it!

Feta, Cranberry and Edamame Salad
A protein packed salad loaded with flavors. The perfect summer snack or side dish!
Ingredients:
-
1 pkg fresh edamame, shelled
-
1/2 C dried cranberries
-
1/4 C fresh basil, chopped
-
1/2 C feta cheese
-
1 T olive oil
-
squeeze of fresh lemon
-
pinch sea salt
-
pinch pepper
Boil some water in a small pan. Once boiling, add cranberries and remove from heat. Let rehydrate 5 minutes. Drain, then pat dry. Mix everything together. Let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before devouring.
Bonus: I got the edamame on sale!
AHHHMAZING.
I must admit, I’m pretty sure my home-grown basil made this dish. It was so fresh and so delicious. The mixture of flavors in this salad are incredible!

What is your favorite way to use edamame? I want to try making some guacamole with it next!
Yum, that salad looks great. I actually have all the ingredients so I think I will be making that later
Love that edamame recipe!!! It’s a definite must try for me!!Thanks for sharing!! SPALove!
Ohhh Basil + Feta has to be one of my favorite combos! I’ve only had edamame once in a stir-fry but loved it. The bf is fanatical about them so I’ll try making this for our lunch one day!
Anything with edamame is a winner in my book! I love adding it to salads!
Ya know, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten edamame before… but I’ve gone the grilled chicken, cranberry, and feta cheese route before if that counts
And I seriously can’t believe that it’s almost September. Part of me is sad that summer is leaving, but I absolutely LOVE Fall, so I’m looking forward to the leaves changing and all the delicious seasonal eats 
Happy Friday!
I am so happy about this, you have no idea! Although maybe you do, since I think I’ve expressed my happiness via e-mail, Twitter, and now blog comments ;D And a delicious salad on the side doesn’t hurt. You have got to let us know if you make edamame guac, I love the sound of that! (And I’m excited to see this surprise you’re getting…)

You do indeed have a full schedule ahead of you for September! Lots of good stuff though, I think it makes for the summer ending to be a bit less bitter eh? The salad looks great too Kat, edamame is among my favorites and so darn good for you too
I love your September plans! There is nothing better in fall than the start of the football season
This salad looks delicious! I am a huge fan of edamame! It is one of the few foods I refuse to give up on Paleo!
Yayyy for football! sounds like you have a great month coming up
