In my journey to feed myself well while avoiding things that cause inflammation and pain, I am missing cheese, yogurt and dips. So I went on the hunt for a substitute, something with some protein that satisfied my savory, creamy craving. I tried this recipe. It totally holds up with taste, and has a texture reminiscent of soft cream cheese. I have enjoyed it as a dip with veggies, on seed crackers and lentil bread.
