Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
½poundsFirm tofu; patted dry
1tablespoonTamari (soy) sauce
cupNatural style peanut butter
1tablespoonLemon juice
½teaspoonMinced fresh ginger
1Garlic clove; minced
2tablespoonsWater

Directions

A little fatty but great in a sandwich with cucumber slices! Puree the tofu and tamari into a smooth thick paste. Transfer into a bowl. With a fork, vigorously beat in all remaining ingredients. =-If you are like me, just toss everything into the blender and forget the fork part<G>=- Let stand 30 mins at room temperature before serving.

This will keep 3 to 5 days covered in the refrigerator.
