-On a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil, place the edamame mix and spread evenly. -Toast in oven for 20 minutes, let cool and chop it up! (Like chopping bacon bits)
-In a small pot, add water just enough to cover egg. Boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and cover with lid for 7 minutes. **Have a bowl of iced water to place egg once ready to avoid it cooking any longer).
-Meanwhile, wash celery, chop celery (fine dice).
-When egg has cooled, peel and shred it with a shredder, then combine it in a small bowl with celery, Hummus, spinach, toasted edamame bits, and dijon (or mustard sub). Mix thoroughly.
