Edamame Walnut Hummus

Menus often use the word “California” to give a menu item a healthy halo. Walnuts, which grow in abundance in the northern section of the state, are rich in heart-healthy oils and antioxidants. Chef Clark blends creamy walnut butter with edamame for a snack that rates high in nutrition and taste.
