Why it's good for you
Edamame is one of the few plant foods that qualifies as a complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. Tahini adds calcium and additional healthy fats, while the combination keeps this dip lower in carbohydrates than traditional chickpea hummus.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
Steps
- Combine the edamame, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor. Process until smooth.
- With the machine running, add the olive oil and continue processing until fully incorporated.
- Season with salt. Serve with crackers, veggies, or in a wrap.
