Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It comes together in minutes, uses simple ingredients you can find at any grocery store, and requires nothing more than a food processor and a cutting board. It’s light and refreshing, which makes it perfect for summer snacking.

The star of the show here is the edamame, which is blended with creamy avocado, bright lime juice, fresh dill, and garlic to create a smooth and vibrant dip that feels indulgent without being heavy. It packs plant based protein, fiber, and health fats from the avocado.

How to Serve

This dip is incredibly versatile, so you won’t get bored eating the same thing over and over. Here are a few of the best ways to enjoy it:

On toast. Spread it thick on a multigrain for an indulgent and healthy breakfast.

With crackers. Wheat crackers are a natural pairing and hold up well with the creamy texture.

On sandwiches. Use it as a spread in place of mayo or hummus for a fresh, flavorful upgrade.

With fresh vegetables. Cucumber slices, carrots, and bell pepper strips all work beautifully with the dip.

A Few Tips Before You Start

This recipe is very easy, and very forgiving, but here are a few tips to keep in mind before we jump in:

Make sure your edamame is fully cooled before blending. Warm edamame can affect the texture and make the dip less smooth.

Try your best to find edamame that isn’t pre salted. If you can’t, it’s not the end of the world, but reduce the salt within the recipe accordingly.

Ripe avocados are non-negotiable. This recipe relies on the natural creaminess of ripe avocados, so don’t rush it. If yours aren’t quite ready, give them another day on the counter.

Taste as you go. Depending on the size of your lime and the saltiness of your edamame, you may want to adjust the salt and lime juice slightly as you go.

Storage: The lime juice helps keep the avocado from browning, but after about five days, you may see slight discoloration. This dip keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
