Edamame hummus is a fun and delicious alternative to traditional hummus. It’s made in just 10 minutes and is sure to become a household staple appetizer and snack recipe!
Edamame hummus is my newest favorite twist on classic hummus . Instead of chickpeas, I use edamame (young soybeans), which gives it a fresh flavor and a gorgeous green color. I know hummus technically means “chickpeas with tahini” in Arabic, but once you taste this version, it’s easy to forgive the rule-breaking.
Aside from the bean swap, I keep things pretty traditional. I use plenty of tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and just enough water to make it smooth and scoopable. It’s creamy, flavorful, and the kind of dip I keep finding excuses to make again and again.
