Recipe Variation: Edamame Dip

2008_7_12-edamamedip.jpgWe're big fans of Mark Bittman and his Minimalist approach to cooking. When he came up with 101 easy picnic recipes, we couldn't wait to try them out. We used his video recipe for edamame salad with fresh mint, lemon and Pecorino cheese a couple nights ago. Paired with bruschetta and a little herbed goat cheese, it was a perfect light summer meal.

We liked the recipe so much, we decided to make it again last night to take to an outdoor concert. But we thought we'd mix it up a little. Why not turn it into a dip?

We used the exact same ingredients, but this time we blended them together in the food processor, streaming in the olive oil, and served it with pita wedges. It was delicious!

Just a handful of simple ingredients, but it's loaded with bright flavors.

This looks really good--can't wait to try it with the mint and Pecorino. I have a recipe from Eating Well with Edamame and Feta that I make all the time and love it as a dip or sandwich spread.
