Equipment

1 small blender or a food processor
1 measuring cups and spoons one set
1 small spoonula for scraping the sides

Ingredients

2 cups edamame Shelled. Defrosted, if from frozen.
3 tablespoon Tahini
¼ cup lemon juice fresh squeezed is preferred
¼ cup water
3 Tbsp olive oil extra virgin
3 cloves garlic peels removed
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a small, personal-sized blender or food processor, or electric food chopper, making it so that the edamame is furthest from the blades before blending.
Blend until a smooth and even consistency is reached. It will still be slightly gritty in texture.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Let frozen edamame defrost completely before blending.

Taste the hummus before you serve or store it. You may want more salt, lemon, or tahini depending on your flavor preference.

If you add extra tahini, you may need to add a small amount of additional water, too.

If you don't love garlic, start with two cloves instead of three.

You may need to pause blending to scrape the sides, so keep a small spoonula or spatula on hand just in case.

I have made this hummus recipe with my personal cup adapter (the product linked here only works on certain models) on my low profile Vitamix blender AND with the Chopper Attachment that comes with the Cuisinart Smart Stick. They both worked wonderful.

If you have a low profile Vitamix blender, this recipe will only work if you double the recipe because of the wide blending base.

Hummus can be served so many ways! Hummus can be served as a dip with veggies or pita crackers, as a spread on a sandwich or wrap, or thinned out and used as a salad dressing or pasta sauce.
