Party Salad

My dear friends, Mandy and Carrie, grew up in a house that backs up to where our town hosts the fireworks every fourth of July. Their family is kind enough to open their doors every year for the best Independence Day party you can imagine: Lots of people, lots of food, lots of games, and lots of fun. And to top it all off, a prime viewing location for the fireworks, and you don't have to wait half an hour for a portapotty when you have to pee (and now you've figured out the real reason I want to watch the fireworks with you guys...). I made this salad to bring tonight and am trying to resist eating it all before we go over.

Party Salad (serves 10-12)

1 recipe lime cilantro vinagrette
2 1/2 cups (12 oz) frozen shelled edamame
3 cups (16 oz) frozen corn kernels
2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered
3/4 of a red onion, diced

Make the dressing and let it sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Microwave the edamame and corn according to package directions and let cool. Mix together the edamame, corn, tomatoes, and onion, then stir in the dressing. Chill before serving.
