My mouth loves the flavor of avocados - my hind end, however, has issues with the fat. This recipe from Food and Wine lets me indulge my mouth and not have to deal with the guilt. Ingredients:
4 whole wheat pita bread, split |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary |
salt |
7 ounces silken tofu, drained |
1 hass avocado, peeled pitted and coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream |
1/4 cup greek-style nonfat yogurt |
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 garlic clove |
1 1/2 teaspoons honey |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
2 tablespoons chopped mint |
fresh ground pepper |
grape tomatoes, cucumber slices and radishes for serving |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°. Stack the pita halves and cut them into 6 wedges; transfer to a bowl and add the olive oil and rosemary. Season with salt and toss. Spread the pita wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until crisp, 30 minutes. Let cool.
2. Meanwhile, in a food processor, puree the tofu, avocado, sour cream, yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, honey, curry powder and mint until smooth. Season the dip with salt and pepper and refrigerate until chilled. Serve the dip with the pita chips, tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes.
