A nice, cold salad on a hot summer day is such a treat. But it needs to be filling too, right? Well this one is! Whole grain noodles and shelled edamame (fresh soy beans) provide starchy satisfaction, and cole slaw on top adds a tasty crunch. Make it early in the day, or the day before, to allow the noodles to soak in the marinade and develop the full flavor.
