If you are looking for a tasty, healthy appetizer -- you need look no further than this Asian Edamame Dip that appeared in the Holiday 2010 issue of the LCBO Food&Drink magazine. I have a friend that sends me every issue via our internal mail system and I anticipate its arrival every season. The BC provincial liquor outlet puts out a similar magazine, and while it's improving, it has yet to rival Food&Drink for its recipes, menu suggestions and "food porn" styling.
I first made this appetizer for my book club to rave reviews and since then it's become a bit of a standby. Don't be put off by the thought of making the accompanying wonton chips. They are really very easy to produce if you buy ready-made wonton wrappers (you can find them at T&Ts or in most produce sections of the major grocery chains) and they look quite impressive served alongside the dip.
Of course, if you have relatives like I do that are deathly allergic to soy products -- this is not a good idea to serve without a huge skull and crossbones symbol beside the serving plate and 911 on your speed dial! Otherwise add this to your appy repertoire as a colourful option easily made ahead.
