Recipe #5: Tiggy's Edamame Hummus

Edamame is so good! I love tahini in hummus but man does it pack a punch when it comes to calories and fat. This is a new and much lighter version of my all-time favorite dip.          
2 cups edamame, shelled and cooked to package directions
¼ cup soybean oil (olive would work)
3 Tbs lemon juice
2 tsp chopped garlic (or to taste)
¾ tsp ground cumin (or to taste)
½ tsp salt

Puree edamame, oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and salt in food processor for 30-60 seconds, scrapping sides twice, until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve with pita, crackers, baguette or raw veggies.

Yield: 2 ½ cups. Per 2 TBS serving: 60 calories, 5 g fat (0g Sat fat), 90 mg sodium, 3 g carbohydrate, 2 g protein, 1 g fiber.
