Edamame Tofu Dip image

Dairy-free, tahini-free, and rich in protein, this zesty, kid-pleasing dip is a lively, pale green alternative to hummus. Serve it with rice crackers, sliced daikon and/or carrot sticks as a dip, but it's also thick enough to spread on bread or a pita as a sandwich filling. It will keep for three days in the fridge.
