1 cup firm organic, water-based tofu or 12-ounce box MoriNu brand tofu

⅓ cup raw cashew nuts (optional), rinsed

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey or sugar

1 tablespoon Chicken-Like Seasoning (see below)

1 tablespoon onion powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1-2 teaspoons salt

water as needed

1 tablespoon potato flour (optional). Potato starch will not work well.

½ red bell pepper, chopped

10-ounce package thoroughly drained, chopped spinach

Directions:

Blend first eight ingredients until smooth, adding only enough water for all the mixture to go through the blades easily. Add potato flour if too runny and blend for 1 minute.

Pour into a mixing bowl and add remaining ingredients. Chill 2-3 hours. Use as a dip or cracker spread, or filling for Stuffed Italian Bread.

Makes 4 cups.
