Even though this has been a springlike winter I have been searching for a colorful salad that would brighten things up a bit. I think this salad is beautiful and so very colorful. I simply adore smoked almonds and snack on them quite often, so I thought they were a perfect fit for this crunchy, sweet salad.

That is really bright and pretty. I don't usually care for cabbage much, but I would try it because this is so pretty. I'm forwarding this one to Lloyd, too! He loves cabbage.
Though I've heard of edamame, I have not eaten it. What does it taste like?
