We want to eat dishes that keep us, and our kitchens, cool. Big flavor, yet very little time and effort. MealsĀ that make the most of seasonal produce… Meals that keep us in shape for swimsuit season.

It has a light creamy texture from the avocado, a bright acidic pop from fresh lime juice, and herby notes from thai basil and garlic. You can even add a serrano pepper for spicy heat, if you like.

The underlying edamame flavor gently brings all these elements togetherĀ to dazzle your tastebuds.
