Here’s the English version below, time to dip into something green and vibrant!

Edamame Hummus (Soybean Hummus)

Let your table shine with a fresh spin on hummus—creamy edamame makes this dip as vibrant in colour as it is in flavour! Lighter than traditional chickpea hummus, it’s packed with plant protein, a hint of spice, and lots of citrus brightness. Fantastic with warm pita wedges, vegetable sticks, or even as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. You can also sprinkle with sesame seeds or extra parsley for a finished look.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen, shelled edamame
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/8 tsp hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 6 pitas (6-inch), cut into 8 wedges

Method

  1. Combine the edamame and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain.
  2. Place the edamame, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, garlic, and hot sauce in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the parsley and pulse just to combine. Serve with pita wedges.

Variation: For a classic hummus feel, try adding 1–2 tablespoons of tahini. For extra zing, mix in a pinch of ground cumin or drizzle with more olive oil and a dusting of smoked paprika before serving.

Tip: For extra depth, add a tablespoon of tahini or a dash of cumin if desired. Try swapping parsley for coriander for a different herbal note!

Enjoy this high-protein, refreshingly zesty dip—a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that’s just as good for you as it tastes!
