Edamame Summer Slaw

Tonight I threw together this quick and easy edamame summer slaw inspired by one that I saw at the cold food bar at whole foods. I have had the whole foods version, and I really did like my own a lot more- I love when that happens :) This  is a quick or easy side dish that I served with a garlic chicken breast, but this could also be a vegetarian meal if you up the serving size and maybe add some quinoa or brown rice!
