Serves: 8
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups frozen, shelled edamame (thawed)
6 oz. silken (or soft) tofu
2 T. minced garlic
Juice & zest from 1 large lemon
2 T. water (add more as needed)
8 slices thin whole grain bread toasted
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts
1/4 cup finely crumbled fat free feta
2 T. capers
1/4 c. finely chopped parsley
1/4 balsamic reduction of choice
Directions
Combine edamame, silken tofu, 1 T. minced garlic, lemon juice & zest, and water in food processor. Blend until smooth (1-2 minutes).
Mix chopped tomatoes and 1 T. minced garlic.
Spread 1/4 cup of edamame mixture on a slice of the toast.
Add toppings as desired: red onion, tomato/garlic mixture, artichoke hearts, fat free feta cheese, and parsley.
Drizzle your favorite balsamic vinegar over the toppings.
Serving: One piece of edamame toast with toppings. As a meal, you could have two pieces of edamame toast and a piece of fruit.
Other Toppings: add cooked egg whites for a little more protein. Swap out parsley with cilantro. Adjust toppings based on personal preferences. Be creative.
Whole Grain Toast: I like Dave’s Killer Bread, sprouted thin sliced. Use what you enjoy. Aim for at least 3 grams of fiber per slice. Use a whole grain sandwich thin and have both sides for 1 serving.
Cut the sodium: omit capers and/or feta cheese
Vegan: omit feta cheese and egg white
Balsamic Vinegar: look for balsamic vinegar reductions or creams. They provide a more intense flavor. Fig, truffle, pear, kalamata, or blood orange are a few of my favorites.
