That bag of frozen edamame, that can of beans, and those last bits of pasta are “fork-tastic,” bathed in a lemony-sesame sauce that starts with a salad dressing mix! So, fuel up and feel good—each serving dishes up 20 g of protein which is essential for muscle growth, heart health, and weight maintenance.
