Edamame Hummus made with 4 ingredients. A simple, high protein snack made in a blender with Greek yogurt and fresh herbs. A healthy, gluten free protein packed snack for any day of the week!
So I have a slight obsession when it comes to dipping. That action of dipping veggies into a dip preoccupies me and not to mention, it wards off the afternoon munchies big time!
I'm telling ya, drop the afternoon treats and get your dipping fingers ready. You'll feel a MILLION xxx better eating something healthier. Pinky swear!
Edamame Hummus
Made with just 4 simple ingredients - Greek yogurt, cilantro, edamame and olive oil - this creamy dip is high protein, low in calories and bursting with flavor!
BUT. This Edamame Hummus can be used for so very much more than dipping. I lather it on homemade pizzas, sandwiches, salads and even baked it on chicken as a marinade <- seriously the best!
How to Make Edamame Hummus
Toss it in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and it's done. That's the beauty of this easy recipe! Only 2 minutes to make it!
This dip recipe is thicker than traditional hummus made with chickpeas. Depending on the brand of Greek yogurt you use and how thick you like yours, you may or may not need to add more olive oil to yours.
It's a very forgiving recipe. Test what works best for you and even add more herbs and spices too (dried or fresh both work!). One herb I do not recommend omitting is the cilantro. It gives it the BEST, tangy flavor!
Make sure you use shelled edamame for this recipe. You can find it in the frozen food sections of most stores.
Now get ready to dip all the veggies into this high protein snack! It's a great option for switching up your nutrition and easily adding more protein into your diet to bust cravings.

Love that you used ingredients I have in the fridge - so simple and I know this is so good. I'm a big dipper too, can't go wrong with fresh veggies and hummus!
This sounds like a great dip! Loving the added herbs...bet that really makes the hummus taste good! 🙂 And this is a little off topic, but I love the bowls you used for the photos! They're adorable! 🙂
I find that if I keep a positive attitude about Mondays, they usually aren't so bad... (sometimes it is hard to do, but I atleast try!) This looks soooo delicious! I'm a huge edamame and hummus fan!
ooo i love that you added edamame beans to this!! they're one of my favorite plus they're so high in protein. The color of the dip is so bright too, i love it!
So fun and fresh for St. Patrick's Day, I LOVE the color!
Makes me miss edamame (soy) but just might have to have a little just because it looks amazing, the girls would love it, and only being home for just over 24 hours next week, on one of my favorite holidays, I MUST make something green as well as some other St. Patrick's Day favs! Crazy I know but I'm missing having a big dinner party like we usually do and will find a way to fit in some festive fun between unpacking, laundry, and repacking and I have to eat right?!
I've definitely been playing catch up the past couple weekends. I actually find now that I'm home more, little things like dishes and laundry creep into my "work" day and I end up having to do more on the weekend. That hummus looks gorgeous! Fresh herbs just make everything better.
Glad that you are able to look forward to and have such a positive attitude about mondays! I wish haha. Also love that you used greek yogurt in this hummus, it looks so creamy and delicious!
Love me some edamame hummus. I always found that smacked more at home, but I at least was snacking on good things. At the office that might not be the case.
Please don't call it a hummus. Hummus is the Arabic word for chickpea, if there are no chickpeas in it, it's not hummus.
I appreciate your thoughts. However, I created the recipe and therefore, I reserve the right to name it what I think it represents.

It makes veggie eating so much easier!
That's such a cool idea! I love edamame - never would have thought to make it into a dip though! Looks amazing!
Thank you! It's addicting, but whatever it takes to eat my veggies. Hehe!

Some Mondays aren't as positive as others. Today was one of them. A lot of haters!

You sounds so busy Sarah. That used to be my life! This would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day for your girls. Only takes a few minutes to make.

Sounds a lot like my life although I am getting a little better.
I feel like I'm playing catch up every day! I love how pretty this is, gorgeous and green like everything should be going into spring 🙂
Thanks! Surprisingly it wasn't the easiest to shoot.
I absolutely LOVE edamame hummus! Sounds amazing!
Thanks Faith!

Thanks Rachel! I try to find the positive in everything, but it's tough sometimes.
