It’s officially picnic and beach season friends! This past weekend we did both…picnic and beach that is. Which reminded me of one of my favorite recipes for taking on the go. Edamame & White Bean Salad is simple, flavorful, and perfect beach & park days because it’s delicious both cold or at room temperature.
The secret to the herb-y flavor is the infused oil. It makes the entire salad fragrant! And you can’t go wrong with big hunks of cheese. How bad can that be? So, what are some of your go to picnic or beach recipes?
