Cilantro Edamame Hummus is a healthy appetizer or snack recipe. No oil or tahini is needed to make this yummy, nutritious and easy treat.
Happy Monday!! Is your week off to a good start? Our family got some exciting news today and I am super excited 😆 I can’t share it publicly yet (no, I am not pregnant) but I will share the good news with you as soon as I can! Sorry I know that was mean to bring it up and not share, but I am just soooo excited!! I can’t contain myself 😳
Since St. Patrick’s Day is this week, I decided to share something green with y’all 😛 I know super original, huh:roll: Anywho, it may not be Irish but I am totally digging my Cilantro Edamame Hummus!! I decided I wanted to make some hummus yesterday afternoon since we were having family over for a Sunday dinner. My dad’s birthday was last week and he had requested that I make my nearly famous(well…in my family at least) 5-Layer Spicy Oven Ready Lasagna Recipe for Sunday dinner. I thought I would try something a little different with this hummus. First I thought that in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I would use edamame in place of the classic chickpeas that you usually find in hummus to make it green.
I didn’t have any tahini on-hand and was too lazy to go to the store, so I decided to nix the tahini in this recipe 😉 Then I thought that I would try no oil too to really make this a lower fat and calorie dip! We love cilantro and it is nice and green, so I went with that. Then fresh lemon and lemon zest really make the flavors pop!!
Then my Cilantro Edamame Hummus was born!
I decided to serve the hummus with pretzel thins, but you could totally try my healthy pita chips too or fresh veggies!!
If you are looking for a more classic chickpea hummus, I have two really great recipes for you that I have shared in the past:
Here is your recipe and nutritional information for Cilantro Edamame Hummus:

- Place garlic cloves in the food processor and process until very finely chopped. Scrape down the bowl.
- Add cilantro to the food processor and process until chopped. Scrape down the bowl.

- Turn on food processor and slow pour water in, small amounts at a time, until you achieve a good consistency.
- Scoop hummus out and into an air tight container and chill for at least an hour before serving.

How much is a “bunch” of cilantro?
LOL😂 I guess that could be confusing. I would add about 1/4 cup chopped. Thanks!!
