Mushroom Free Edamame Guacamole
Guacamole just got a protein-packed upgrade, and it's every bit as creamy and vibrant as the classic you love. Cooked edamame gets mashed right alongside ripe avocado, creating a dip that's thick, satisfying, and loaded with fresh flavor from lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro, and a touch of cumin. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with no special equipment required — just a fork or potato masher and a little elbow grease. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of fungi, so there's zero guesswork about what's hiding in the bowl. That matters more than you'd think, since store-bought dips and restaurant versions can sneak in unexpected additions. A drizzle of olive oil ties everything together and gives it that glossy, restaurant-worthy finish. Scoop it up with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable crudités and watch it disappear fast.

Transfer the cooled edamame to a mixing bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining — a few whole or half beans are fine.
