Avocado, artichoke & edamame spread
Recently, a friend of mine told me about her edamame (soybean) and marinated artichoke dip. I liked her idea, with a few adjustments: I added an avocado for texture, some maple syrup for balance, and red onion for sweet-smelling breath. (I crack myself up!)
Try it, I promise you won’t regret it. It’s a simple, creamy, unique, and healthy appetizer perfect for spreading on canapés or crostini, or served with raw veggies.
You’ll easily find edamame in the frozen foods section of any grocery store.
