Green goo doesn’t always look that appetizing, but trust me, you want to try this stuff.

I’m a bit of a hummus fiend, and have always LOVED the milder taste of the edamame hummus from Trader Joes. So last night, I decided to try my hand at it. It’s super easy — I just replaced edamame beans for chickpeas in my standard hummus recipe, added garlic, and a tiny bit of red pepper flakes.

The result was a bright, pistachio green spread that tasted truly delicious. It definitely tastes like hummus… but slightly less bean like (does that make sense?). I spread a few spoonfuls onto a fresh baguette to accompany a kale salad (with cherry tomatoes, avocado, dried cranberries and roasted chickpeas) for dinner.

The rest was stored in a handy Bonne Maman jar for later snacking. Yum!
