While these are cooking cook the edamame and green beans in the microwave for 4 minutes. After this pop the edamame beans out of the pod and add cannelloni (white kidney) beans. Chop up the nuts and add this to the bowl. Then sprinkle in a hand full of dried cranberries and chopped kale and spinach. Sprinkle in a bit of linseed/ flaxseed. Add fresh mint.
Wait until the grains are all cold and then mix it into the salad. Lastly at the last minute before you serve , slice the avocado. Then put the dressing onto the salad and you're done!
