Balsamic Vinaigrette ( or salad dressing of your choice)

1. Cube the sweet potato (I left the skin on) and cook it in a pan with a little bit of olive oil on medium to low  heat until cooked through 

2.  Cook Barely according to package directions until tender

3. Cook Edamame according to package directions
