Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen shelled edamame thawed
  • 1 cup frozen spinach thawed
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil (see notes for oil-free option)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • ¼ - 1 jalapeño roughly chopped (optional for spice)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the edamame, spinach, olive oil, lemon juice, jalapeno, garlic, salt, and pepper to your food processor. Jalapenos can range greatly in spice level, so I recommend starting with ¼ of a jalapeno and adding more as desired. Blend until super creamy and as smooth as possible, stopping to scrape the sides as needed. I recommend blending for several minutes to make sure the olive oil emulsifies and the dip gets extra creamy. If your dip is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to reach desired consistency.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers such as chips, pita chips, bread or veggies, or use it as a sandwich spread. Store covered in the fridge or you can freeze it.

Notes

Oil-free: to make oil-free, omit the olive oil, and instead add the flesh of one ripe avocado. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to reach the desired consistency. 
Thawing edamame and spinach: To quickly thaw the edamame and spinach I just pop them in the microwave for a few minutes.
