by New Century Nutrition
Serve this cool, creamy dip with pita chips or wedges of fresh pita bread.

    2 small cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and grated
    1 lb. firm tofu
    3 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
    2 garlic cloves, peeled
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. coriander
    1/4 tsp. cumin
    Pinch of cayenne pepper
    1/4 cup finely sliced red onion

• Let the grated cucumber stand for 10 minutes.
• In a blender, mix the tofu, lemon juice, garlic, salt, coriander, cumin, and cayenne pepper until completely smooth.
