Snow Pea, Edamame and Bean Sprout Salad

We serve this salad cold on warm days and at room temperature on normal days. It's filled with crunch from the bean sprouts, sweetness from the snow peas, and heartiness from the edamame. It's simple and can be dressed up with extra ingredients if you have them on hand. Add some mint to pair with the sweetness, bell pepper for a splash of color, or even rice noodles and more dressing to make it an entrée. Try it at its most basic first and have fun from there.
