This salad is the shizzle, it is fabulous, and you are going to love it! Β Bold words, but oh-so-true. Β Before you scroll down and look at the recipe and say woo, hold on that looks complicated, stop, it is not complicated, I promise. Β It takes about 15 minutes to chop and assemble and only about 6 minutes to cook so that the whole bowl of goodness can be on your table in less than 25 minutes. Β This recipe is packed with healthy protein, tons of heart-healthy veggies and is gluten free and dairy free.

Give it a try and let me know how much you love it, cause love it you will! I kind of sound like Yoda…

Vietnamese Shrimp Edamame Salad Recipe Gluten Free Dairy Free Healthy | ahealthylifeforme.comApril makes me think of spring, Easter, daffodilsΒ and warmer temperatures. Β April is alsoΒ National Soyfoods Month. Β This is great because I can withΒ you about how soyfoods can be swapped into your favorite recipe to add protein and nutrients for aΒ heart-healthy alternative. Β  They can also be used inΒ place of dairy or meat-based ingredients, helping to keep recipes dairy free.

I swapped outΒ Edamame in place of cheese inΒ this recipe. Β The Edamame has a creamy texture similar to cheese, but without the dairy. Β Edamame is also a great source of fiber and protein.

Strive to addΒ soyfoods in your daily recipes.

Try soy yogurt in dips, toppings, and garnishes or as an ingredient in baked goods. Have a favorite cheesecake recipe or cream cheese frosting? Soy cream cheese works well in all types of recipes, including those that involve cooking and baking. Frozen soy-based desserts can be a great replacement for ice cream any time of the day!
