Edamame Guacamole

This vibrant edamame guacamole offers a clever contemporary twist on the classic Mexican dip. By blending protein-rich soya beans with steamed broccoli and creamy avocado, you create a beautifully smooth texture that is both lighter and more nutritious than traditional versions. The addition of fresh lime juice, garlic, and a hint of jalapeño ensures the flavour remains bright and zingy, making it a perfect centrepiece for any vegan sharing platter.

Ideal as a healthy snack or a party starter, this versatile dip is packed with plant-based goodness and stays a brilliant shade of green. Serve it chilled with crunchy seasonal vegetable crudités, toasted pitta strips, or homemade corn tortillas for a satisfying appetiser. It is a fantastic way to increase your daily veg intake while enjoying a delicious, savoury treat that can be prepared in advance.

How to make Edamame Guacamole

BRING a medium pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath and set aside.

COOK the edamame beans at a rolling boil until tender, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain the beans into a strainer and shock in the ice bath. Drain well.

PUREE the avocado, lime juice, garlic, and jalapeño in a food processor at high speed. Add the edamame beans and the process on high speed.

MEANWHILE, cook the broccoli at a rolling boil until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the broccoli and shock in the ice bath. Drain well and pat dry.

ADD the broccoli to the edamame mixture and process on high speed until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to incorporate all the ingredients.

TRANSFER the mixture to a medium bowl and fold in the remaining ingredients, mixing with a rubber spatula until well incorporated.

TRANSFER the guacamole to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour, before serving with accompaniment of choice. (The guacamole will keep in the refrigerator for up to two days.)
