For those of us watching our cholesterol, every meal can make a difference. Research backs this up. A study, published this spring, showed that a diet with plenty of soy products, such as tofu and edamame, nuts and fiber-rich foods like oatmeal lowered participants' cholesterol levels. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed a 20 percent or more decrease in cholesterol levels in participants in one year. The results are similar to prescription cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Here's a recipe for a tasty dip with a kick! What a great way to add heart-healthy soy to your diet.

Edamame Spread
2 cups frozen shelled edamame
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon wasabi paste (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup water (reserved from boiling pot)
Veggies and rice crackers for dipping

In a medium sauce pan of boiling salted water, cook the edamame and garlic until tender, about five minutes.

In a food processor, puree' edamame, garlic, wasabi paste, soy sauce, lemon juice. Add water slowly until very smooth.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to one day to merge the flavors. Serve with veggies and rice crackers.
