Eat Something!
Tired of being told what diet will have you “Get the Guy” or “Look Great for the Summer?” We at FLY love our bodies in all their shapes and sizes. So we promise to NEVER tell you to lose weight. We want you to be healthy but, we want you to know that you are beautiful even if you don’t fit that fake size everyone else is telling you to be. Every month we will provide you with a recipe that is convenient and cheap to make when under all the pressures of college. So put away the salad and yogurt and go EAT SOMETHING!
Edamame Salad and Edamame Soup
by Bernadette Laspee
Spring 2011
Edamame! This Asian superfood is not only delicious but can be used in just about anything from salads, dips, soups, and stir-fry. This soybean offers a great nutritional kick too, as it is high in fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Two of my favorite recipes using edamame are cucumber, onion, and edamame salad and edamame and potato soup.
Edamame Salad
2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 onion, peeled and sliced
1 cup edamame, prepared (boiled for 10 minutes)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
5 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp soy sauce
And a pinch of cayenne pepper for flavoring!
Edamame Soup
1 cup edamame, prepare (boiled for 10 minutes)
2 cups potatoes, skinned (boiled for 10 minutes)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sundried tomatoes
½ cup onions
2 cups vegetable stock
