Equipment

Immersion blender or blender

Ingredients

1 cup frozen shelled edamame thawed
1 cup frozen green peas thawed
½ cup unsweetened Greek-style yogurt or plain yogurt, or silken tofu
1 tablespoon capers optional but recommended
1 large clove garlic or more to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice plus more to taste
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon mellow miso dissolved in water (optional)
1 cup chopped fresh herbs (see notes)
2 tablespoons water or caper juice, or extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

Instructions

Combine edamame, peas, yogurt (or tofu), capers, garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, paprika, cumin, herbs, and water, caper juice, or olive oil in a blender or wide-mouth jar. Dissolve the miso in an equal amount of water (1 tablespoon water per 1 tablespoon miso). Add this to the jar or blender.
Blend until creamy and smooth, adding more water (or caper brine or oil) one tablespoon at a time to reach dressing consistency.
Season: Taste and adjust with more lemon and salt.

Notes

For quick thawing, transfer the peas and edamame to a fine-mesh sieve and run them under running warm water for a few minutes. You can also briefly boil them for about 3 minutes, then drain and cool under cold water before using.

Flavor boosters (optional, use 1 tablespoon): Miso adds a savory, umami flavor. Nutritional yeast works too, but it gives a more cheesy, nutty taste. Capers add a briny, tangy, and slightly lemony flavor that brightens.

Fresh herbs: Use 1 cup total of fresh herbs, mixing and matching ¼ cup each of parsley, dill, basil, and mint. If you only have two herbs, use ½ cup of each. Great combinations include parsley and dill for a classic Greek flavor, basil and mint for a bright, fresh taste, or parsley and basil for a balanced, versatile dip.

Blending: Use a combination of water, caper juice, and or extra-virgin olive oil to achieve the desired flavor and consistency. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed.

Servings: The suggested serving size is for a snack with veggies or for adding to a bowl. Double the servings for a more substantial meal! The recipe makes about 2 cups.
