Guacamole

• 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed

• ½ cup chopped cilantro

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ red onion, roughly chopped

• ½ jalapeno finely chopped

• Juice of 2 limes

• 2-3 tablespoons of water

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Put edamame, avocado, cilantro, garlic, onion, jalapeno, and lime juice in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined. You may need to use a spatula to scrape down the sides to help the processor combine ingredients.

2. Add enough water to make a creamy consistency and pulse again until smooth.

3. Transfer edamame guacamole into a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir. Serve with vegetables for dipping.

Can also be used as a salad or grain bowl topping. It is great as a spread in wraps, as well!
