ingredients for edamame hummus:
Edamame – Ready-to-cook edamame is so easy to find these days. They are peeled so the work is done for you, and they can be found in the frozen section at your grocery store. Trader Joe’s also carries a refrigerated variety, and I’m sure other markets do as well.
Tahini – A true magic ingredient, I always have tahini on hand. This creamy sesame seed paste is essential to this dip and so many others I make. You can find it at almost any major grocery store in the dry goods or refrigerated section.
Garlic – Garlic is also customary in traditional hummus and is wonderful in this dip. With so few ingredients, each one needs to work hard and garlic does just that.
Baking soda – Baking soda makes the edamame so tender, it blends up into a beautiful puree in just seconds in the blender. You could skip this step, but I wouldn’t. It makes all the difference.
This is truly silky smooth and delicious. I used it as a sandwich spread and found it was so much tastier than the traditional mayonnaise.

Made this recipe didn’t have baking soda and choose not to use oil, and it was incredible! Ate it warm for breakfast with some honey and red pepper flakes. My new go to summer breakfast, for sure.
This makes me so happy to hear! Thanks for sharing Jenna!
