This flavorful blend of tofu, egg-less mayonnaise, celery, red peppers, roasted garlic, onions, herbs, and spices is a wonderful solution to the dairy free potluck.  The bold notes of roasted garlic and onions, followed by the slight red pepper sweetness are sure to be a hit.  The pate also contains a touch of nutritional yeast that adds a slight cheesy taste, which our tasters enjoyed. 

The texture of this pate is quite unique.  It reminds me of a relatively smooth egg salad, sans egg of course.  It works wonderfully as a spread on bagels or toast, or as a dip for chips, bread, vegetables, you name it!  In fact, I was trying to find excuses to sample more of this pate.  I decided to stir a few tablespoons full into some hot rice.  I must say, it was very tasty, and made for a healthy, protein-packed, mini-meal in minutes. 

We liked the health factor of this dip as well.  It is free of preservatives, fillers, and MSG, yet also relatively low in fat, calories, and sugars.  Two tablespoons contains only 80 calories, 7g of fat, and next to 0 grams of sugar.  Certainly a light order for a creamy dip that is actually all natural.  So enjoy!

• Pros:  Vegan; Good source of protein; Relatively low in fat, calories, and sugar; Flavorful and versatile
• Cons:  The tofu-averse may be hesitant

Recommended For:

• A Dairy Free Dip

Where to Buy:

	I live in NJ, how can I buy the garlic-red pepper spread? I can't find it anywhere near me. \n This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ' target='_blank'>http:// This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

	Hi Meredith,    I love this stuff, but am now having trouble finding it too! I contacted the company to make sure that it wasn't discontinued, and it isn't. But they are coming out with smaller tubs that will hopefully be more widely distributed. You can find out more from them via their website - http://www.tobysfamilyfoods.com/.

	This is my favorite Toby's flavor. (See my additional comment about local availability on the page for their Jalapeno flavor.)
