Equipment

  • High power blender or food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 small bunch of kale about 4 cups
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 jalapeño pepper remove the seeds for less spice
  • 2 cups frozen shelled edamame thawed
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • teaspoon salt
  • Few cracks black pepper
  • Add up to ¼ cup water to blend if necessary

Instructions

  • Remove the large stems from the kale and discard. Blanch the kale leaves in boiling water for 60 seconds, then use a slotted spoon to place in an ice bath. Drain and pat dry.
  • Add the garlic, jalapeño, lemon zest, lemon juice, edamame, and half the oil to the bucket of a high-powered blender or food processor. Pulse 3-4 times until roughly combined.
  • Add the salt, pepper, and kale to the blender. Turn to manual and gradually increase the speed. Use the tamper if necessary.
  • Open the top and stream the rest of oil in. Add up to ¼ cup water to blend if you find the dip too thick.
  • Spoon into a serving bowl and enjoy with crackers, tortilla chips, or chopped vegetables.

Notes

  • Which type of kale is best? The classic green kale, also called curly kale, is recommended for this recipe.
  • Want less spice? This dip has a medium spice level. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño before blending, or omit the pepper entirely.
  • Dip too thick? Add up to ¼ cup water to blend, and/or more olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time. Use the tamper that comes with your blender if necessary, and stop to scrape the sides down occasionally.
  • Storage: Dip will keep in a closed container in the fridge for 5 days.
