Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by shelling one cup of unsalted pistachios if not pre-shelled. Place them in a food processor and pulse until finely ground but not turning into a paste.
2. Add 0.5 cup of Greek yogurt, 4 ounces of silken tofu, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey into the food processor with the ground pistachios.
3. Pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add 0.25 teaspoon of salt and ground black pepper each for seasoning.
4. Blend all the ingredients until the mixture turns smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even blending.
5. Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or honey to suit personal preference.
6. Once completed, transfer the pistachio spread into an airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve this protein-rich creamy pistachio spread as desired. It can be enjoyed on bread, as a dip for fresh veggies, or added to your favorite dishes.
