I'm not a fan of edamame, but I still enjoyed this salad. The quinoa and vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the dressing was very flavorful.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the quinoa was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

This quinoa and edamame salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. I especially liked the crunch of the edamame and the sweetness of the corn.
