Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup fresh or frozen shelled edamame, mixed with a spritz of fresh lime juice and a pinch of sea salt
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and spritzed with fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Do a FASS check and add additional lime juice or salt if needed.
Variation: You can use frozen peas in place of the edamame. Just blanch them for 1 minute in boiling water, then rinse in cold water before blending. Remember to give them a spritz with lime juice.

If you're up for it, go the extra mile and add some additional heat! Another 1/4 teaspoon of wasabi powder will turn up the wow factor in this dip. This gorgeous dip is very versatile. Use it like a condiment, spread on sandwiches or wraps. Yum!
