AVOCADO AND TOFU DIP
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.

Steps:
- Process the avocado and tofu in a blender or food processor.
- Add the apple cider vinegar, yoghurt, garlic and kelp to the avocado and tofu mixture.
- Blend until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl and fold in the sliced spring onions and finely chopped tomato.
- Place the mixture in a serving bowl.
- If not serving immediately, drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil over the dip to prevent discolouring, unless of course you are using a variety of avocado (such as Shepard in Australia) that does not discolour.
- Add the avocado slices for garnish, if using, and serve.

LIGHTENED-UP GUACAMOLE
This lighter version of guacamole is extra-creamy because of the addition of protein-dense silken tofu. Not only does it make a super-smooth puree, it reduces the fat and calories in the overall recipe.

AVOCADO AND TOFU DRESSING
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.
