creamy
edamame dip
recipe by Lindsay Pleskot
enjoy on a crostini or with some veggies
Ingredients:
2 cups Inspired Greens
1 1/2 cups edamame beans, shelled and defrosted
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove garlic
Juice of 1/4 – 1/2 lemon, adjust to taste
Salt and pepper, adjust to taste
Pomegranate arils to garnish
Serve with: crackers, crostinis, veggies
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a large food processor
2. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed
3. If your dip is too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of warm water, more olive oil, or lemon juice
4. Adjust to taste with more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or garlic as needed.
5. Plate it up, sprinkle with your pomegranate arils or toasted nuts and serve with your favorite crackers, some toasted crostini or fresh or roasted veggies
Tips:
• For nuts, I like it with toasted pine nuts, walnuts, or pecans
• Other optional add ins: fresh herbs (ie: mint, basil, or cilantro) or spices (ie: paprika, curry powder, or dill)
• Drizzle with more olive oil or your favorite flavored oil for an extra pop of flavor and nice finishing touch!
