Guacamole
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
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
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.
Add enough water to make a creamy consistency and pulse again until smooth.
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!
