I thought this was really great! Made as part of "green dips" - included guac as well - served with edamame crackers and multi-grain pita chips, as well as veggies.
Soybean Hummus
In this recipe, Littlewood uses frozen shelled edamame in place of chickpeas to prepare hummus. It is also good as a spread on flatbread for a wrap sandwich or as a dip with cut-up raw vegetables. Add extra flavor to the pita chips by lightly toasting them, then rubbing them with the cut side of a halved raw garlic clove.
Yield: 12 servings (serving size: about 1 1/2 tablespoons hummus and 4 pita wedges)
