AVOCADO AND TOFU DIP



Avocado and Tofu Dip image

Apparently the high nutritional value of avocados was well known by the Aztecs and the Incas. In the twenty-first century, it's often what we put with avocado that makes our recipes somewhat less than healthy. This is a super-healthy avocado dip - with tofu, cider vinegar, yoghurt and spring onions - which loses none of the appeal of an avocado dip although it is packed with ingredients so healthy that even your cardiologist will be asking you for the recipe! Serve with crisp raw vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower florets and sticks of celery, carrots and zucchini. Or, if you feel that the dip is healthy enough to make some small dietary sins permissible, serve with your favourite crackers. Adapted from the holistic.com website.

Easy-to-make raw dip from simple ingredients; I just created it myself when I bought too much cauliflower from the farmers market. It can be used as a salad dressing as well, just add a little more yogurt and olive oil.
