The light green, fresh-tasting dressing is the perfect accompaniment for steamed artichokes. CW's test kitchen staff liked the dip so much, they suggested making a double batch and thinning it down with a little milk to use as a regular salad dressing. Ingredients:
4 medium artichokes |
1 package (12.3 ounces) silken firm tofu |
4 teaspoons minced fresh mint or 1-1/4 teaspoons dried mint |
4 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2-1/2 teaspoons honey mustard |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon curry powder |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Place the artichokes upside down in a steamer basket; place in a saucepan over 1 in. of boiling water. Cover and steam for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, for dressing, combine the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Serve with artichokes. Yield: 4 servings (1 cup dressing).
