All you need for this healthy edamame dip is 5 minutes, a food processor and a handful of simple ingredients! We use frozen, thawed edamame as a super easy base and tons of cilantro and lime juice for flavor. What you’re left with is a protein-packed vegetarian dip that’s perfect with veggies, tortilla chips or as a spread on a sandwich!

One this about me is that as a Registered Dietitian, I’m always looking for new, fun and flavorful dip recipes, since they make it SO much easier to eat more veggies!

And lo and behold, I think I’ve just found my new favorite.

This cilantro edamame hummus is bursting with flavor, while also secretly being so healthy. And the best part? Just like my super delicious homemade hummus recipe, it comes together in 10 minutes using the food processor!

Expert testing notes from my kitchen!

Listen, I’m no stranger to cooking with edamame. My Quick Soy Sesame Cucumber Edamame Salad is one of my most popular recipes on social media for a reason, so I’d like to think I know a thing or two about making edamame shine!

  • Make sure you’re using shelled edamame for this recipe- Otherwise, you’ll be spending way more than 5 minutes de-shelling it!
  • To make this dip come together even faster, I like to boil water in my kettle and pour it over the frozen edamame in a bowl. I let it sit for 5 minutes, and your edamame is good to go!
  • I’ve tested this dip many times, and I personally like to leave some bigger chunks of edamame for texture, but feel free to blend the dip for longer to make it super silky smooth!

You’re gonna have some leftover edamame after making this healthy dip recipe, so why not use the rest to make some Crispy Roasted Edamame?! It’s perfect as a snack!
