• 2 1/2 teaspoons salt

How to make Edamame Dip with Crudites

Cut carrots, celery, and cucumber into 1/2-inch-wide sticks (2 1/2 inches long). Cut radishes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and keep cut vegetables in ice water (to keep crisp) while making dip.

Cook edamame in 1.4L boiling water with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a 3-quart heavy saucepan 3 minutes, then reserve 180ml cooking liquid and drain edamame in a colander. Rinse under cold water until cool.

Dry saucepan and add garlic and 45ml oil, then cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is pale golden, 3 to 5 minutes.

Purée 475ml edamame with garlic-oil mixture in a food processor until smooth. With motor running, add 120ml reserved edamame-cooking liquid in a stream. Add remaining cup edamame, lime juice, sugar, pepper, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and remaining teaspoon salt and pulse until slightly lumpy. Add remaining 60ml cooking liquid to thin if desired, then stir in coriander.

Transfer dip to a serving dish and serve with vegetables, drained and patted dry, for dipping.
