Creamy and rich edamame blended with a touch of garlic and salt for a delicious and healthy purée dip. Served with tortilla chips or crackers, this garlic edamame purée dip is the perfect snack to start the new year.
My first brand new recipe for 2015, and I thought we’d start with something simple and healthy, especially with all that holiday eating we did the last month or so!
No? Just me? I swear I tried to resist gingerbread cookies and peppermint bark, but well, they’re gingerbread cookies and peppermint bark! It’s not like I eat them all year round. So I thought it’d be okay to indulge a little. Now, it’s a brand new year so let’s start off with something lighter and healthier.
I’ve wanted to create a recipe for edamame purée dip for awhile now. I first tried an edamame dip when I went out to lunch with a friend a few weeks ago at Blue C Sushi. They served edamame puree with fried wonton wrappers, which I thought tasted amazing. So of course, I wanted to come home and attempt to replicate the dip.
What I love most about this garlic edamame purée dip is that it’s both creamy and rich, similar to avocado, but contains less fat, even of the healthy kind. Edamame itself has tons of protein and fiber. It’ll keep you full and satisfied for awhile so it’s the perfect afternoon snack to keep you happy until dinner, right?
