Ingredients
- 1 cup slivered almonds, no skins
- 8 ounces tofu, regular or firm
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons white or rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chives or green onions
Preparation
- Soak nuts in hot water for an hour; drain off the water.
- Lightly squeeze excess water from the tofu in a paper towel.
- Blend all ingredients except the chives/green onions in a food processor until smooth.
- Chop the chives or green onions and mix into tofu mixture with a spoon.
- Use as a spread on bagels, toast, or crackers. Or use as a dip for fresh veggies.
Helpful hints
- Nuts can be part of a kidney friendly diet. New research shows our bodies do not absorb all of the phosphorus in plant-based foods.
- May substitute raw cashews for almonds.
- Try various herbs in place of chives, such as dill, basil or parsley.
- Store in a container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Analysis is for the spread only, does not include any crackers, bread or vegetables used with the spread.
