CARE Snack: Edamame Hummus with Leafy and Tender Veggies

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Whole food sources of soy, like edamame, have twice as much protein per serving than other beans, like chickpeas, which are traditionally used for hummus. This switch gives you a recipe that has more protein with fewer carbohydrates, allowing you to fill those carbohydrate servings with veggies and high-fiber crackers for dipping! Frozen edamame requires about four minutes to cook, and you can find packages of it in the produce freezer section of just about any grocery store now.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For Hummus

  • 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame (frozen, out-of-the-shell)
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, (to taste) chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • pinch of salt (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water (as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Leafy and Tenders for Dipping (any combination can be used)

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
