Ingredients

  • 10 ounces frozen edamame pods
  • 1 Jalapeno pepper (se seeds to control the spice of the dip)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1.5 limes (juiced)
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro plus extra to taste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup avocado oil (or olive oil)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add frozen edamame and boil until tender, approx. 6-8 minutes. Drain, cool, and remove soybeans from their pods.
  2. Remove the stem and seeds from your jalapeño. For a spicier did you can leave the seeds in tact. I added 1/4 tsp of the seeds back in and it was my perfect degree of heat - totally customize the spice to taste here.
  3. In a food processor, combine edamame, jalapeño, avocado, lime juice, green onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pulse until finely chopped and mostly pureed, scraping down the sides once or twice as needed.
  4. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Once incorporated, scrape down the bowl and then process for another 10 seconds or so. Add any extra needed/desired. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve with your favorite  sliced veggies and tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra creamy dip, feel free to add in an extra avocado. To maintain flavor, simply adjust seasoning to taste by adding extra of your favorites.
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp of cumin is also super tasty in this dip if you're a fan.
  • Choose your favorites for dunking! Tortilla chips, sliced bell pepper, carrot sticks, celery sticks, sliced cucumber, pita wedges and pita chips all work marvelously!
