Wild Rice and Edamame Salad is packed with great texture, colour, and flavour... and it can be made gluten-free with just one easy swap!

Just realized it's been slightly over 2 months since I posted anything - whoops!

It's been pretty wild here, between Convention season, the upcoming release of Hedonistic Hops (Pre orders now available!), and development work on Beyond Flour 2.

I'm here with a new recipe now, though!

Wild Rice and Edamame Salad

When my husband had to go vegetarian a few months ago, we started spending a ridiculous amount of time looking through local co-ops, trying to come up with ideas for him to get more protein in his new diet.

At one point, we came across a ready-made wild rice and edamame salad that was SO good.. but could be better.
I swapped out some ingredients, tweaked the dressing to be more to our tastes... and here we go!

Once you have the rice cooked, this salad comes together quickly and easily. It will last about a week in the fridge, but will probably be gone long before that.

We were constantly snacking on it - it's a bit addictive!

This Wild Rice and Edamame Salad recipe is inherently ALMOST gluten free - all you have to do to make it actually GF is to use a gluten-free soy sauce. Easy!
