Edamame Guacamole


This recipe includes two of my favorite things: edamame and gaucamole! Thank you to the Whole Foods website, where I found it. And what a fabulous store - just across the street from my house!

Makes about 2 cups

Made with a combination of avocado and edamame, the flavor of this guacamole variation is both creamy and fresh. Serve with raw vegetables like celery, carrots and radishes for dipping or alongside tortilla chips as a healthy snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed  1 small, ripe avocado, peeled and pitted  1 chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped (optional)  1/3 bunch cilantro  1/4 white onion, roughly chopped  Juice of 2 limes  2 to 3 tablespoons water  Salt and pepper

Method

Put edamame, avocado, chipotle, cilantro, onion, and lime juice in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth. Add enough water to make a creamy consistency and pulse again. Transfer guacamole to a bowl, season with salt and pepper and serve.
