Notes
- We recommend using pre-shelled edamame beans that are typically found in the freezer aisles of major grocery stores. They're convenient and easy to work with, and they also retain their freshness and nutritional value.
- Fresh lemon juice is a must for this edamame hummus. It adds a bright, citrusy flavor that balances the earthiness of the edamame and the nutty tahini.
- Cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous note that takes this hummus to the next level. If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute it with parsley or chives.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference. More cumin for a smokier flavor, extra cayenne for heat, or additional salt to bring out the flavors.
