Celery Slaw with Edamame

  • ACTIVE:
  • TOTAL TIME:
  • SERVINGS: 4

Edamame—that's the Japanese name for whole soybeans—may not be as commonplace as celery, but they are becoming more and more popular. Credit all the good news about soy's health benefits. The beans are available in the freezer section of many supermarkets and at Asian food markets.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A refreshing sparkling wine will balance the salty-sweetness of the celery and soybeans and point up the crisp texture of the celery. Look for a good nonvintage brut from France.
