Benito Bean Dip (AKA No Avocado Guacamole)

Such a great dip for a snack with chips or veggies, or work it into a Mexican meal. I'd call this no-avocado guacamole since it's green and I really want my dad to try it. YUM!

Benito Bean Dip (adapted from Better Homes and Gardens)

  • 1 1/2  cups  cooked edamame (these are soy beans, can be found in the frozen veggie section in most grocery stores)
  • 1/3  cup  fresh salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1    Tbs red or green onion
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4  teaspoon  Zippy Zonya Mexi Mix 
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional)*
Mix all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

* I added salt since I was using an unprocessed frozen bean. If you use a canned bean (pintos can be subbed) or a very salt salsa, then this shouldn't be added.
