I’ve seen this recipe in the book and it looks so interesting! I’m definitely going to make it just as soon as I’ve found the edamame
I”m so glad! let me know how you enjoy it.
My daughter hates hummus, but loves edamame! She’s not a dip person either. Maybe this can open that door a bit.
You won’t know until you try it Ambery! Maybe let her help make the hummus?
I was wondering about those carrots… are those fresh carrots or some sort of carrot chips? If carrot chips, could you tell me more?! :-)
I found them at the grocery store next to the baby carrots ;)
