Edamame, also known as green sweet soybeans, lends an Asian flair to traditional four-bean salad, made with in-season fresh green beans and canned garbanzo and kidney beans.
All four beans are tossed with red onion and an Asian-flavored sweet-and-sour dressing made with rice wine vinegar, a little Chinese hot mustard and heart-healthy canola oil. This vibrantly colored and nutrient-rich Asian Sweet-and-sour Four-bean Salad is perfect for picnics, potlucks and tailgating. Look for jars of Chinese hot mustard in the Asian or ethnic foods aisle.
