Zucchini with Edamame and Tomatoes

Edible Edamame

Soy foods such as edamame contain soy protein and isoflavones, two components with promise in helping to reduce heart disease risk.

Did You Know?

Edamame are green or unripened soybeans. You’ll find packages of frozen in-the-pod or shelled edamame in the frozen foods section, or fresh in the produce section with other Asian vegetables.

it was pretty delish, but i have to agree, less basil would make it better.

Good, but less basil

This dish was a great side for a summertime meal. I would just do a bit less basil as it was strongly flavored.
