Edamame Guacamole
In recognition of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, some of The University of Kansas Health System’s offices will have modified hours on Thursday, December 25, and Thursday, January 1.
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 small ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
1 canned Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped (optional)
1/3 bunch of cilantro
1/4 white onion, roughly chopped
Juice of 2 limes
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Put edamame, avocado, Chipotle, cilantro, onion and lime juice in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth. Add enough water (about 2 Tbsp.) to make a creamy consistency and pulse again. Transfer guacamole to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve with raw vegetables like celery, carrots and radishes for dipping or alongside baked pita chips as a healthy snack or appetizer.
