Edamame and White bean HUMMUS. Why not Chick Peas? Well, being a vegetarian I eat a lot of hummus made with garbanzos, so I like this recipe because it is something differently delicious! The spinach makes it even more healthy for a better lifestyle. It is also a fun and unique recipe to make for a gathering like family time, pot lucks, having friends over and more. Enjoy!

First take the edamame beans out of the pod.
They are also sold already shelled in the freezer section,
so you could look for those too.
You need 1 and ½ cups for the recipe which was a bit more than one bag.

Chill for at least an hour or two before serving.  Overnight is even better.
Serve with pita chips or other dippers…but I love it on sandwiches
I had it last night for dinner over roasted potatoes.
This is a great protein to add to lots of things like many types of burritos,
 
 salads, burgers, over chicken and rice…
 
you dont have to be a vegetarian to LOVE it! 
Let me know if you try it and what you think!
