Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup shelled edamame
1 cup spinach, well washed
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup cream cheese
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot water to a boil, add the edamame. For the last minute of cooking, add the spinach. Drain and plunge into a ice-water bath. Press out as much of the moisture as possible. Add the cooked edamame and spinach and the oil in a food processor. Combine on a low speed until incorporated. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Stir in the cream cheese and season to taste with the salt and pepper.

Tips:

Choose Fresh Edamame: Look for vibrant green edamame pods with plump beans inside. Avoid pods that are brown or yellow, as they may be old or stale.
Don't Overcook the Edamame: Blanch the edamame for just a few minutes, until they are bright green and tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Chill the Edamame Before Using: Chilling the edamame before making the dip helps to develop their flavor and makes them easier to peel.
Use Good Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of the dip. Use fresh herbs, a good quality mayonnaise, and a flavorful cheese.
Adjust the Seasoning to Your Taste: Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Creamy edamame dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, packed with flavor, and can be customized to your liking. Whether you serve it with crackers, vegetables, or pita bread, this dip is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this creamy edamame dip a try.
