Appetizers/Snacks/Dips and Spreads

Edamame Hummus

 I must confess that I am not a bean lover.  It’s definitely a texture thing.   I could gladly eat green beans any day, but when it comes to navy or kidney or (God forbid) lima, I nearly gag at the thought of it.

 I worked at Taco Bell one summer in college.   What was my duty?  To make the refried beans.  Mercy, how did I make it through the summer?  

And garbanzo beans are no exception.  So imagine my elation when I discovered the glory and splendor that is edamame!  

Eda-who, you say?  

A wonderful little soybean, the delicious legume is chocked full of fiber, protein and vitamins/minerals.   But best of all, it has a different texture than the aforementioned beans, and makes one heck of a good hummus!

Beware that this recipe does include raw garlic though, so be sure to carry gum with you!
