A Healthier Twist on Traditional Hummus
While this hummus skips the chickpeas, it still delivers that familiar, rich texture we all love. The base of edamame (young soybeans) and avocado gives it a unique flavor profile that’s both refreshing and satisfying. I was first introduced to this combo at one of my favorite local spots, Shaka, and after falling in love with it as an appetizer, I knew I had to recreate it at home. Be sure to check out my other dip recipes too, like my fan-favorite Avocado Feta Dip.

Why It’s Good for You
This dip isn’t just delicious — it’s packed with health benefits from fresh, whole ingredients:
- 🥑 Avocado – Full of healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. It’s great for heart health and gives this dip its smooth, creamy base.
- 🌱 Edamame – These young soybeans are a powerhouse of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like iron, calcium, and folate.
- 🧄 Garlic – Known for its immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. It adds depth and savory flavor.
- 🍈 Lime Juice – High in vitamin C and adds brightness and acidity to balance the richness of the avocado.
- 🌿 Fresh Basil – Packed with anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants. Basil adds a subtle peppery sweetness that brightens the entire dip.
- 🌶️ Serrano Pepper – A little heat goes a long way! Serrano peppers contain capsaicin, which may boost metabolism and has anti-inflammatory benefits.
- 🫒 Olive Oil – Rich in heart-healthy fats and antioxidants. It helps emulsify the dip and enhances flavor and smoothness.
Ingredients
- Edamame – 12 ounces frozen edamame, thawed in microwave and shelled (1 bag)
- Avocado – 1 ripe hass avocado
- Basil – Small handful of sweet basil leaves (roughly 6 or so)
- Lime Juice – 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.
- Garlic – 2 teaspoons of minced garlic.
- Serrano Pepper – 1 serrano pepper, seeded. PLEASE do not skip this! I promise it will not make this dip spicy.
- Olive Oil – 1/8 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
- Water – 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and Pepper – To taste.
Equipment you will need:
Food Processor – I used my 7 cup KitchenAid Food Processor. It is the perfect size for making sauces and dips. It is super powerful too!
Instructions
- Add ingredients: Place all ingredients into a large food processor (I use a KitchenAid).
- Blend: Pulse on high until the mixture is thick and well combined. It won’t be completely smooth — a few small lumps are normal — but everything should be fully incorporated.
- Adjust consistency: If the spread seems too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons of water and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Serve: Transfer to a bowl and serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh veggies. Enjoy!
How To Serve
- Scoop it up with crackers, pita chips, or sliced veggies like cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Spread it on toast, wraps, or sandwiches.
- Use it as a creamy topping for grain bowls or salads.
Storing Instructions
Store your avocado edamame hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To help preserve its vibrant green color, press a piece of plastic wrap or parchment directly onto the surface before sealing. Because of the avocado, it’s best enjoyed fresh — but it still tastes great the next day!
