    If you like edamame as much as I do (who doesn't love eating an entire bowl of edamame?), you’re definitely going to flip over this dip! It’s creamy from the goat cheese, a tad spicy from the sambal oelek, a smidge citrusy from the Japanese yuzu juice, and it's super healthy. Plus, it comes together in less than 15 minutes!

    A bowl of soybeans or soya beans with a light drizzle of melted butter and lemon. This variety is called Edamame and is commonly served in Japanese restaurants and some Chinese restaurants. This legume is gaining popularity outside of East Asia as a healthful food staple.

    Is edamame good for you?

    Edamame is a tasty, nutritious soybean legume that’s an excellent low-calorie snack option. There are several health benefits to eating edamame:

    • Edamame is high in protein. A cup (155 grams) of cooked edamame provides around 18.5 grams of protein.
    • Edamame may lower cholesterol. They're rich in healthy fiber and antioxidants.
    • Edamame is rich in vitamins and minerals.
    • Edamame may reduce the risk of breast and prostate cancer.

    How to make goat cheese edamame dip

    There are just a few steps to creating this super flavorful and healthy snacking dip!

    1. Place the shelled edamame in a food processor and pulse for about 20 seconds until it's chunky.

    2. Add in the goat cheese, sour cream, sambal oelek, yuzu juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy, about 20 seconds.

    3. Serve with chips (I used blue corn tortilla chips) or fresh cut veggies for dipping!
