Perfectly seasoned with kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder, this healthy dip is quick to prepare and ideal for serving with pita chips or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Edamame Hummus

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame (thawed, about 10 ounces)
  • 1 medium ripe avocado (about 8 ounces)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

For Serving

  • Pita chips
  • Fresh vegetables (such as carrots, cucumber, bell peppers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Thaw the frozen shelled edamame if not already thawed to ensure smooth blending. Peel and pit the ripe avocado. Peel the garlic cloves. Zest and juice the lemon to yield approximately 3 tablespoons of juice.
  2. Puree the Base: Place the thawed edamame, avocado, garlic cloves, lemon zest, lemon juice, kosher salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, and chopped cilantro into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse and blend until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth.
  3. Incorporate Olive Oil: While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil and continue blending for about 5 seconds just until the oil is fully incorporated, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Stop the processor and taste the hummus. Add additional salt and pepper as needed to suit your preference. Blend briefly if adjustments are made.
  5. Serve: Transfer the edamame hummus to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use. Pair with pita chips and fresh veggies for a nutritious snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Thaw the edamame completely for the best texture and ease of blending.
  • Use ripe avocado to ensure creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • Adjust lemon juice and seasoning to your taste for brightness and balance.
  • This hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a smoother hummus, blend a little longer or add a tablespoon of water if mixture is too thick.
