Edamame Dip
Move over, hummus! There’s a new heart-friendly dip that’s creamy, flavorful, and the perfect partner for sliced veggies and whole-grain crackers.
Edamame Dip isextra-creamy thanks to the Greek yogurt base. Seasoned with garlic, parsley, and lemon, this dip packs tons of flavor without salt. Edamame are young soybeans popular in East Asia that provide almost 9 grams of plant-based protein and 4 grams of fiber per ½ cup. Remember to aim for a minimum of 25-30 grams of fiber per day to help reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels and minimize inflammation.

- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
- 1 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Juice from ½ lemon

- Pinch of red chili flakes
Directions
