Last week we decided to do some grilling.. nothing special, nothing new, but the highlight of the meal was a new side dish recipe I decided to try. This one was SO good, the flavors were really delicious!
Super easy to put together.. we used fresh corn on the cob, since it's the season for it finally (hooray!!!) and used the frozen edamame beans, cooked to package directions of course. Couldn't be easier.
The one thing I did change, however, was to use a few splashes of olive oil instead of mayo. It just seemed right. It was a wise decision!
