12. Edamame-Lemongrass Hummus
Swap the usual chickpeas with soybeans for this spicy and smoky hummus recipe. Since fiber-rich edamame is fairly flavor-neutral, garlic, ginger, parsley, and lemongrass shine in this simple healthy appetizer recipe. Pair the dip with veggies or pita chips, or use as a layer inside mini snack-size sandwiches.
