Spring Edamame Hummus
Spring edamame hummus is a bright, green twist on the classic dip. Blending tender edamame and sweet fresh peas creates a uniquely fresh and colorful base. Fresh lime juice and sesame tahini add a creamy, zesty finish that balances the earthy legumes. A touch of cumin and hot sauce brings just the right amount of warmth to every bite. It makes an excellent afternoon snack with crisp vegetables or a flavorful spread for a hearty sandwich.
