Ingredients

  • 2 cups edamame
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • If needed, prepare the frozen edamame according to package instructions. If no instructions, place 2 cups of edamame in a microwave-safe bowl, add 2 tbsp of water and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Once the edamame is cooked, let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • In a food processor, combine all ingredients and blend on high until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times to make sure it is fully blended.
  • Adjust the seasoning (garlic, salt and cilantro) as needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more oil or water 1 tsp at a time.
  • Pair with fresh veggies, crackers or pita bread or use in a sandwich or wrap. Enjoy!

Notes

If you are not a fan of cilantro, try fresh basil instead!
