Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil, garnish with extra cilantro, and serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, or fresh veggies.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Choose Ripe Avocados: The creaminess and flavor depend on perfectly ripe avocados. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
• Cook Edamame Properly: Boil or steam until tender, then cool fully for the best smooth blend.
• Balance the Flavor: If the dip tastes flat, add another squeeze of lime or a pinch more salt to brighten the flavors.
