This edamame avocado spread is something easy you can whip up for a delicious and filling lunch. It's also jam-packed with nutrients from a few extra-special ingredients.
- 1 cup edamame beans, (frozen shelled)
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp water, or more as you need it for consistency
- 1 avocado
- 1 tsp miso, or tamari (soy sauce), or 1/4-1/2sea salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, or 1/4 tsp ground
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, or parsley or basil
- 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts, optional - or any other fresh green
Thaw or heat the edamame beans so that they're no longer frozen, and puree them in a food processor with a bit of water and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice) until they're roughly chopped.
Add the miso (or salt), ginger and avocado and puree. Add the fresh herbs and/or sprouts, and puree again until everything is smooth.
Taste to see if the flavor is right for you, and then use the dip in whatever fun way you feel like.
