This recipe was published in Cooking Light a few years ago. My mom and sisters visited me in Maryland and we always try new recipes and this so happened to be one of our test recipes. We all still make this today, but we each do a few things differently. One of my sisters cuts out the pasta, one add less edamame and I add extra basil & lemon. This recipe is so good, you'll find yourself eating the entire bowl.
The arugula is divine in this salad with its peppery crunch alongside th burst of tomato and buttery edamame. Not to forget the delicsious blend of unexpected flavor from the fresh herbs.
This recipe is also very kid friendly!
