Award-winning chef and author Art Smith was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2008 (via People) and has since focused on incorporating healthier, more nutritious meals into his diet. The industry pro has cooked for Oprah Winfrey, Jeb Bush, and the Obamas (per New York Daily News). Smith's recipe for edamame hummus with cucumber slices is a "brighter version of the Middle Eastern spread," according to Oprah.

What you'll need for your recipe is 1 pound of frozen, shelled edamame, ½ cup of tahini paste, ¾ cup of lemon juice,1 ½ tablespoon of chopped garlic, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin, 2 teaspoons of ground coriander, ½ cup of extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and 2 cucumbers (sliced ⅛-inch thick).

Grab your food processor and mix in the edamame, tahini, ½ cup water, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and coriander — blend until the mixture is smooth. While you're running the processor, drizzle the oil into the mixture until it's mixed entirely. Next, season the hummus with salt and pop it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it. Serve the chilled edamame hummus in a bowl with sliced cucumbers (via Oprah).
