For this recipe I used frozen sweet peas and shelled edamame to make a delicious hummus-like spread. The combination makes for simultaneously robust and delicate addition to any meal. Spread over toast, use in sandwiches, or eat by itself! Fresh and sweet, this hummus is full of protein to keep you full and satisfied. Every bite will take you out of this end-of-winter funk and into a spring frame of mind. Spring on!
