Wild Oats' Edamame Caviar

Published March 21, 2007 at midnight

Is it possible to get the deli recipe for Edamame Caviar available at Wild Oats? It contains edamame, corn, red pepper, squash, zucchini, carrots and seasonings. It's a terrific, healthy recipe. - Ann, Littleton

Wild Oats wasn't willing to give out that recipe, but the chef at headquarters hoped that this salad would satisfy our reader at home.
