If you love hummus, you have to try this version. It features edamame (young, green soybeans) in place of chickpeas, which gives it a striking green color. Edamame is packed with protein and fiber, a nutrient duo that gives this dip real staying power, and contains plant-based omega-3 fats. The recipe also calls for soy sauce and rice vinegar, so it also has a subtle yet tasty Asian-inspired flavor. You can serve it as a dip with fresh veggies or use it as a sandwich spread.
