Zucchini with Edamame and Tomatoes

Zucchini with Edamame and Tomatoes
Recipe Tip
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.

Perfect side dish
I made this without the tomatoes, and added garlic powder and onion powder. I imagine it would also be great with Italian seasonings. This really is a great side dish-- easy, quick, and healthy.

very good!
very delicious side dish! im a big fan of edamame so i loved this! i didnt have any fresh basil on hand, so i used dried. i also chopped up an avocado & added it at the final step with the shredded cheese. mmmm

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.
