Avocado And Tofu Dip Food

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.

Can't remember how many times I've made this but it's always a favourite with my church friends. Saw this on a Japanese cooking show some years ago.

Wonderful accompaniment for fish and seafood even fried, chicken, vegetables, and salads. Original idea comes from Harumi Kurihara's book. She is sometimes quoted as a Julia Child of Japan - I think that's stretching it though. Be sure to use only silken or very, very soft tofu for this dish. This recipe tastes better after letting the taste meld in refrigerator for several hours. You can also omit cottage cheese and it works out fine. This recipe is to use expensive avocado to stretch it's taste and color and will not taste like guacamole with mostly all avocado.
