Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • ½ cup (80 g) raw cashews
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 lemon, peeled
  • 4 cups (695 g) shelled edamame beans, warmed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, optional

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  2. Run the Dips & Spreads Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.  Blend for 60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.

Chef's Notes

  • A nice garnish such as a drizzle of hot honey, a dollop of spicy chili pepper purée, or a pinch of sea salt can elevate this dip even more, making it perfect for a dinner party or gathering.
  • Did you know that edamame are soy beans?  And soy is not only an excellent protein source, but carries along with it a ton of health benefits helping to decrease the risk of a variety of chronic diseases.
