    From a Whole Foods Twitter link:

    .
    Edamame Guacamole:

    Made with avocado and edamame, this guacamole variation is both creamy and fresh. Serve with raw vegetables like celery, carrots and radishes for dipping or alongside baked pita chips as a healthy snack or appetizer.
    .
    Ingredients
    .
    1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
    1 small, ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
    1 chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped (optional)
    1/3 bunch cilantro
    1/4 white onion, roughly chopped
    Juice of 2 limes
    2 to 3 tablespoons water
    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    .
    Method
    .
    Put edamame, avocado, chipotle, cilantro, onion, and lime juice in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth. Add enough water to make a creamy consistency and pulse again. Transfer guacamole to a bowl, season with salt and pepper and serve.

    Yes, it sounds great. I love chipotle in adobo, have some in freezer, just have to pick up the edamame. I wonder if it would have less of a tendency to discolor with it added?

    Squeezing more lemon or lime juice over the top of the finished product will help lengthen the time before it discolors. Another old trick to help prevent discoloration is placing the avocado pits on top of the finished bowl of guacamole.

    I bet it would be less chance of discoloring, especially with the lime juice, too.

    I just posted on another thread about how I don't often see edamame in our store, but I did see it yesterday, and so I picked some up. Now I can try the guacamole recipe!
