If you’re looking for a delicious alternative to hummus then this pretty green edamame dip is the one for you: it packs a delicious umami punch not to mention an impressive nutrient profile. With a host of delicious ingredients which support the immune system, fight inflammation and keep your organs strong and healthy (avocados are an all-out wonder food, soya beans are one of the best sources of plant-based proteins, garlic is packed with potent medicinal benefits and olive oil supports good heart health) it’s the kind of dip you can dive into with none of the guilt and all of the pleasure. It’s delicious served with a range of dippable, scoopable sides such as celery sticks, chunky pepper sticks, flatbread strips or salted crisps but my absolute favourite is to serve it with some little potato rostis or wedges for an extra indulgent twist.
