Can this be prepped in advance?

Yes! Just prep the edamame base and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The tomatoes and marinade can be stored in a separate airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.

Is there a way to replace the tahini?

If you have a sesame allergy, try swapping the tahini for more extra virgin olive oil. When blended with the edamame, you will still get a satisfying spreadable mix.

How can I turn this into a gluten-free meal?

Instead of regular bread, try enjoying this spread in your favorite gluten-free wrap. Fill with your favorite vegetables, roll it up into a log and cut into similar pieces to sushi to make little veggie pinwheels.

Can I use regular tomatoes?

Yes! Try this recipe with regular tomatoes or even cherry tomatoes. Both alternatives will still work really well if you don’t have access to the heirloom variety.

Instructions

To a shallow bowl add the grated garlic, lime zest and juice, dill, chives, and oil then stir to combine. Add in your tomato slices then toss and coat well in the marinade. Top the tomatoes with a generous pinch of salt, then allow the slices to sit for 5-10 minutes to marinate.
For the edamame spread add the thawed edamame, tahini, dill, chives, miso, garlic, lime, vinegar, oil, water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a food processor. Process on high, scraping down the sides as needed until the mixture is mostly smooth. Taste and adjust salt to your liking.
To assemble, toast your bread as desired. Cut the tip of the garlic clove off then rub the garlic over the surface of the bread. Spread a good portion of the edamame spread overtop each slice of bread then top with a few slices of the marinated tomato slices. Drizzle the top of the toast with some of the tomato marinade then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and more salt as desired and enjoy.

Notes

Change up the herbs. Try this spread using different combinations of herbs. I used chives and dill, but this works really great with parsley, cilantro or basil based on preference.

Adjust flavors to taste. We rely on the vinegar, citrus, miso and herbs to build flavor here. If the spread needs more flavor, add extra salt. If that’s not enough just adjust as needed to your taste. Add extra tang with the vinegar or citrus, more herbs for fresh flavor or more miso for umami flavor.

For more protein, consider sprinkling your toast with hemp hearts.
