Spiced Whipped Tofu Dip

Spiced Whipped Tofu Dip

This creamy spiced tofu dip is a protein-rich, plant-based centrepiece that works just as well on a mezze platter as it does spread onto toast, tucked into wraps or used as a salad base. Made with tofu, tahini and nutritional yeast, the full bowl delivers around 84 g of protein, making it both satisfying and nourishing. Blended with warm spices, it’s smooth, savoury and creamy, while the garnish of pomegranate seeds, vegan feta, fresh herbs and sesame adds brightness, texture and contrast. A crowd-pleasing dip that proves comfort food can also be balanced and bold.
