This vibrant twist on traditional guacamole combines creamy avocado with the slightly nutty flavor of edamame for a nutrient-packed dip that’s perfect for any occasion. The edamame adds a subtle texture and boosts the protein content, making it not only a delicious snack but also a satisfying one. With the usual zing of lime, fresh cilantro, and a little heat from jalapeño, this guacamole is a crowd-pleaser with a fun, modern spin.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shelled edamame (cooked and cooled)
- 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 small tomato, diced
Instructions:
- Blend the Edamame: In a food processor, pulse the edamame until roughly mashed. You can also mash them by hand with a fork if you prefer a chunkier texture.
- Mash the Avocados: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth. Stir in the mashed edamame.
- Add Flavorings: Mix in the cilantro, jalapeño, red onion, garlic, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lime juice and seasoning based on your preference.
- Serve: Optionally, fold in diced tomato for added freshness. Serve with tortilla chips, pita, or veggie sticks.
Enjoy your healthy, delicious Edamame Guacamole!
