Why is this hummus oil-free?

This recipe uses tahini and water to achieve a creamy texture without added oils, making it a lighter option while still delivering rich flavor.

Can I use different greens instead of kale?

While kale adds a unique flavor and vibrant color, you could experiment with spinach or collard greens, though the taste profile and color would change slightly.

Do I need to cook the edamame first?

No, the recipe specifies using frozen edamame that is thawed and drained, so no additional cooking is required before blending it into the hummus.

How can I make the hummus smoother or thicker?

To achieve a smoother consistency, continue processing and add more water by the tablespoonful as needed. For a thicker dip, use slightly less water initially.

How long does this Kale-Edamame Hummus last?

Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. It's best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
