Edamame dip for Friday evening parties!


Cook a cup of frozen edamame for five minutes in the microwave or per the package directions. Steam a cup of broccoli until it is tender and cooked. Take a medium sized onion and chop it. Crush 2-3 garlic cloves. Chop one green chili. Coarsely chop a cup of fresh basil leaves. Puree all ingredients together. Add a quarter cup each of fat-free sour cream and yogurt. Whisk it together with the dip. Add more yogurt to get it at the right consistency level. Add fresh black pepper, cumin powder, chili powder, and lemon juice to season the dip. Enjoy with chips, pita bread, or crudites. This dip is a great way to get your proteins and fibers and vitamins. It is great for picky eaters who would not eat brocolli any other way. And a very easy way for vegetarians to get their proteins.
