Summer Salad – Watermelon, Edamame and Feta
This is the prettiest salad I’ve ever laid eyes on. I think I have crush on it. I found this beautiful salad recipe in one of my mom’s magazines and it was love at first site. While it’s the purdiest thing ever, I never would have thought to combine these flavors but hot damn, they really go great together.
The addition of the wheat berries and edamame makes this salad a filling meal. I’m a big fan of wheat berries and edamame. They are both packed with protein, fiber and lots of vital nutrients and minerals. Check out my wheat berry waldorf salad for another variation on this awesome true whole grain.
