Ingredients For This Recipe

This edamame avocado dip blends up thick and creamy, but you can easily adjust the texture to suit your taste. Since edamame is naturally dense, you might want to add a little more liquid during blending if you like it more smooth. A small splash of water, extra lime juice, or a drizzle of olive oil can help loosen it up.

• 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
• 1 diced avocado
• 1 green onion sliced
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic minced
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

How To Make Edamame Avocado Guacamole

Step 1: Cook the frozen shelled edamame in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, then drain and let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor.

Step 3: Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving. Top with more chopped cilantro for a garnish.

Tips For Making Edamame Avocado Guacamole

Cook the edamame just until it turns bright green so it blends into a smooth base without any grainy bits. Let it cool for a few minutes before blending so the avocado keeps its fresh color and taste. If the dip feels too thick while blending, add a small splash of water at a time until it moves easily. A quick taste at the end helps you adjust salt or lime so the flavors come together just right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time

Yes, you can make it a few hours ahead and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve. The lime juice helps keep the color fresh for a bit longer, but it is best enjoyed the same day. Give it a quick stir before serving to bring back the creamy texture.

Can I use canned edamame instead of frozen

Frozen edamame works best because it has a firmer texture and better flavor after a quick cook. If you use canned edamame, drain and rinse it well before blending. The texture may be a little softer, but it will still work nicely in the dip.

How do I keep the dip creamy after blending

Blending while the edamame is still slightly warm helps everything come together smoothly. If it thickens in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir before serving. A small squeeze of lime can also help loosen it back up.

Can I make this without a blender

Yes, you can mash everything by hand, but the texture will be chunkier. A fork or potato masher works best for breaking down the avocado and edamame together. It will still taste great, just more rustic in style.

Recipe Alterations & Add Ins
