Ingredients

  • 1 block soft or silken tofu (350 grams or 12.3 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives
  • 1/2 a lemon, juice only
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 1 large clove)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin (do not skip!!)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (yellow flakes; do not confuse with traditional baker's yeast)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
  • Salt + pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Remove tofu from packaging, draining the liquid well. Wrap tofu block in a paper towel and gently squeeze out excess liquid.
  • Then, add all ingredients to a large food processor, generously seasoning with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides of the processor down as needed. Feel free to adjust flavours to desired taste.
  • Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later. If you want the dip chilled and slightly thicker, you may refrigerate this dip for about 30-60 minutes before serving. See notes for serving ideas!

Notes

*STORAGE: This recipe will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days. I love making a batch to add to my snacks and meals for a few days. If you find that the liquid separates a bit with storage, simply give it a good stir before using.
*SERVE WITH:
  • raw, crunchy veggies like cucumber rounds, baby carrots, sliced bell peppers, celery, or even cherry tomatoes
  • crackers of any kind (my favourite healthier options are these almond flour ones and these seed ones)
  • chips (I would opt for a neutral flavour and a sturdier chip)
  • feel free to add a small drizzle of a nice tasting olive oil over top of the dip
  • sandwiches, pita wraps, or with open-faced toasts - use it as a yummy spread!
  • grain bowls or salads - add a scoop for extra flavour, creaminess, and protein
