I add a little paprika. Warm water will help make it really smooth.
How long in the fridge after you make the edamame hummus does it last?
Great for having with raw veggies! Rest of the family really enjoyed this when I spiced it up with a little more cayenne pepper. Since avocado/guacamole is a category IV food, this is the perfect alternative.
Delicious! Great change from garbanzos!
