Avocado & edamame hummus
I made this dip for my daughter’s birthday last December and my family loved it. They always let me know when they don’t like something I make, so I know exactly where to stand with my recipes. It’s obvious that we are far from the thick mayo dip but it’s a nice change to offer something a bit more refined and healthy before a meal.
I noticed that nobody stuffed their faces and everyone had room for the main course as well as the desert.
I served this dip with a variety of vegetables and chips.
