A light, refreshing yet satisfying dip that you can enjoy without the guilt! I literally threw everything in my food processor and call it a day. The dip is ready in under 10 minutes and you can get on with your day. 🙂
Here’s a recipe for a quick and easy appetizer or snack with ingredients you likely already have on hand (I was inspired by a friend’s mom who recently made a delicious dip based with edamame). I’ve made it with and without avocado (it’s better with avocado) - but you can also easily add a few ingredients to spruce it up if you feel like being fancy. Miso paste, wasabi, or hot sauce are all possible (and welcome!) additions!
