Edamame Hummus

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT VIEW IN SPANISH

“I love all kinds of hummus and have been meaning to try one using edamame. Soybeans are rich in protein, dietary fiber, micronutrients and vitamin K. This hummus is a beautiful green and tastes super fresh.” - Wendy Cannon, a cooking instructor at the Dr. Yum Project kitchen

Note: Pictured pita chips are not gluten-free. Omit or use gluten-free option if needed.

Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until desired smoothness is reached. Add more water if it needs thinning. Top with a drizzle of olive oil before serving with pita crisps, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.

Babyfood Option:

Hummus is a great babyfood that can be thinned and pureed very soft and smooth for new eaters. It can also be a great spread for toast which can be cut into small squares, triangles or strips as a finger food.
