What&#8217;s great about this hummus combo is that the edamame gives the dip some added texture, and combined with the sweet pepperdews produces an experience similar to a chunky cheese spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cravingideas.com\/.a\/6a00d83451d48a69e2012875d1a760970c-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sweetpepperdews\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451d48a69e2012875d1a760970c \" src=\"http:\/\/www.cravingideas.com\/.a\/6a00d83451d48a69e2012875d1a760970c-500wi\" style=\"width: 500px;\"><\/img><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>One of the vegan guests at the book club thought that the hummus had cheese in it which I took as a high compliment because it&#8217;s not easy to replicate a cheese-like experience.<\/p>\n<p>To make the dip even easier to make, I started by just buying a tub of traditional hummus at the store. No need to to start from literal scratch. We&#8217;re all about fast &amp; simple here at Noshtopia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>14oz. tub of Traditional hummus (your favorite brand)<\/li>\n<li>1 cup frozen shelled edamame (I used organic. Frozen is cheaper, but you can use fresh. Trader Joe&#8217;s has fresh ready to eat edamame)<\/li>\n<li>8 Sweet Pepperdews (these are usually available in the olive bar in the deli section of a grocery store)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s get cooking:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cravingideas.com\/.a\/6a00d83451d48a69e2012875d1af18970c-pi\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Edamame_soaking\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451d48a69e2012875d1af18970c \" src=\"http:\/\/www.cravingideas.com\/.a\/6a00d83451d48a69e2012875d1af18970c-500wi\" style=\"width: 500px;\"><\/img><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Soak the frozen edamame in a bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes. The instructions on the bag typically say to microwave the edamame to heat it up, but I try to nuke food as little as possible to retain as much of the nutrients. The warm bath is much friendlier to the edamame (in my opinion).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Pour the tub of hummus into a mixing bowl.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Take the pepperdews and put them in 3-cup food processor and grind them up until they are as fine as you can get.
