This creamy and nutritious Edamame Hummus with Avocado is a fresh twist on traditional hummus, combining protein-rich edamame with the smoothness of ripe avocado. Enhanced with garlic, Italian parsley, and a hint of spice, it's perfect as a healthy dip or spread, served with veggies and pita chips.

Ingredients

Hummus Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Edamame, shelled and thawed if frozen
  • 45 grams Avocado (approximately ½ medium avocado)
  • ¼ cup Italian parsley, loosely packed
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (adjust to taste, may add up to 3 tbsp)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes (small pinch)
  • 2 tablespoons Water (adjust as needed for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients, including 2 tablespoons of water, into a food processor.
  2. Process Ingredients: Pulse and blend the mixture until the ingredients are combined into a rough paste.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Open the food processor, scrape down the sides of the bowl, then check the consistency. Replace the lid and continue processing until the hummus is smooth. Add additional water one tablespoon at a time if a looser, creamier consistency is desired.
  4. Taste and Season: Remove the lid, taste the hummus and adjust seasoning with extra salt or lemon juice if needed. Process one final time to blend in the adjustments.
  5. Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, garnish with extra edamame and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve with vegetable sticks and pita chips on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice and ripe avocado.
  • If using frozen edamame, ensure they are thawed and drained well before use.
  • Adjust the level of red pepper flakes to control spiciness.
  • This hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to substitute Italian parsley with cilantro or basil for a different flavor profile.
