Ingredients

1.5 cups frozen shelled edamame thawed
1 avocado
3 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup cilantro
jalapeños to taste (see notes)
sea salt flakes to taste

Instructions

In a food processor, add the thawed edamame, avocado flesh, lemon juice, cilantro, jalapeños if using, and a pinch of salt. Process for a few minutes, until mostly smooth. You can add an ice cube or two if you prefer a smoother texture.
Store in the fridge for 4 days.

Notes

Jalapeños: My preference for this recipe is to use jarred pickled jalapeños. They deliver a nice kick without being too spicy. Whichever you are using, start slow, taste, and increase as needed.
Tips: The lemon helps keep the avocado from browning.
