Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Place the shelled edamame in a food processor or high-powered blender. If using frozen edamame, ensure they are completely thawed and at room temperature.
- Add freshly squeezed lime juice to the edamame, which will help brighten the flavor and prevent discoloration.
- Mince the garlic clove finely to release its aromatic oils and distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Finely chop the small onion into uniform, small pieces to ensure even distribution and balanced flavor.
- Pulse or blend the edamame, lime juice, garlic, and onion in the food processor until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally.
- Season with salt to taste, starting with a small amount and gradually adding more as needed. Mix thoroughly to incorporate.
- Transfer the edamole to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle over the top as a garnish, adding color and a fresh herbal note.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh lime juice and freshly minced garlic. These ingredients will enhance the overall taste of your Edamole.
- Texture Matters: If you prefer a chunkier dip, pulse the edamame mixture less to retain some texture. Adjust the blending time to achieve your desired consistency.
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to experiment by adding spices like cumin or chili powder for a kick, or incorporate diced tomatoes for added freshness.
- Garnish Creatively: Don’t skip the cilantro! It adds a burst of color and freshness. You can also try other herbs like parsley or green onions for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with Style: Pair your Edamole with a variety of dippers—tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or even whole grain crackers for a nutritious snack that everyone will love.
