Edamame Miso Dip | Bistro OneSix

Making this dip, I admit, is for purely selfish reasons. Our friends, Mark & Romy, have a pool and with the sweltering hot days we’ve been having, I like to up the chances of getting an invitation any way I can and so I like to make sure I have something yummy in the fridge I can pull out at a moment’s notice when the call for heat relief comes.

And I know this dip is going to be a hit because I first read about it on Mark’s sister’s blog, Musings of a Sly Rooster. I mentioned to Mark how delicious the recipe sounded and he confirmed that it indeed is a winner. And after making it, I fully concur. It’s bright and fresh, full of flavor and totally addictive. And it’s guilt free – well unless you scoop it up by the mound full like I did with crunchy tortilla chips (but oh so worth it).

I can totally see having a batch of this in the fridge often as I am more than happy to provide a {tasty} dip for a {cool} dip anytime.
