    Muy original! He hecho ensaladas con quinoa. Claro está, no tan sofisticada como ésta. Edamames aquí no se encuentra.
    Igualmente es una linda idea para inventar.
    Gracias Angie por todas estas exquisiteces.!

    My daughter-in-law was telling me about the health benefits of quinoa. When I can get to a store again I will buy some and try it out.

    I made pickled onions once and they were pretty salty. I like how your recipe doesn't use a lot of salt. The salad looks great too. I really could use some green right now. Have a great start to the new week.

    Thought it was pickled ginger, then look a second look (read) and ooohhh, it's pickled lemon skin! So zesty and great match with edamame quinoa salad
