Edamame Hummus

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

Yield 3 cups

Change up your hummus game by swapping in soybeans for chickpeas. Edamame hummus is as good as traditional hummus as a snack, sandwich, dip or spread.

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1/2 cup tahini
1/2 cup water
1/3 to 1/2 cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup minced fresh mint
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped, optional
Assorted fresh vegetables
Rice crackers

Directions

Microwave edamame, covered, on high until tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, salt, oil, mint and, if desired, peppers. Process until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Serve with assorted fresh vegetables and rice crackers.

We love hummus at our house. This recipe is a scrumptious and refreshing twist on an old favorite, and it's a wonderful way to incorporate healthy soy into our diets. —Marla Clark, Albuquerque, New Mexico
