Wild Rice and Edamame Sriracha Salad

As I am experimenting more and more with soy products during my Crop of the Month series, I am finding more and more uses for them. Really, shelled edamame can be added to anything. Rice pilaf, salads, stir fry. The uses are endless. They’ve become a great staple for me in the kitchen. 

This is a quick salad I literally threw together in 10 minutes. The trick to this salad is you’ve got to let it sit and marinate in the dressing for several hours. It really allows the flavors to bloom. 

I think the next time I make it I am going to add some crunchy noodles to it right before serving!
