Origins of Guacamole
Guacamole is believed to have been invented by the Aztecs in Mexico prior to the 1500s. It spread in popularity throughout Mesoamerica thanks in part to the health benefits of avocados (source). It’s now a popular dip in many regions of the world and has been adapted with the addition of a variety of ingredients. This version features edamame for a fiber and protein boost!
How to Make Edamame Guacamole
The first step is to cook the shelled edamame by boiling it in salted water until very tender (about 12-15 minutes). While that’s going on, there’s plenty of time to chop the avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. We then add the cooked edamame to a food processor with half of the avocado chunks, blending until the edamame breaks up into small pieces. Next, we toss in the remaining avocado chunks, red onion, and jalapeño, along with sea salt for flavor and lime juice for brightness. A few more pulses to break it all down, and you’re almost to the finish line. Transfer to a serving dish, stir in cilantro, and all that’s left to do is dip away! We hope you LOVE this guacamole!
