Edamame Pasta Salad image

This is a refreshing pasta salad that is not only colorful but has so much flavor. It truly tastes as good as it looks! Black beans and edamame add a little bit of a different texture and interest to this dish. What we loved, though, was the tangy homemade dressing. It goes so well with all the fresh veggies.
