And what Super Bowl party wouldn’t be complete without chips and dip? Try out one of our favorite dips: Creamy Cucumber.

Creamy Cucumber Dip Ingredients:

• 2 small cucumbers
• 1 14-ounce package of tofu
• 3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• pinch of cayenne
• 1/4 cup finely sliced red onion

Peel, seed, and grate the cucumbers, then let it sit for 10 minutes.

In a blender, combine the tofu, lemon juice, garlic, salt, coriander, cumin,

and cayenne. Blend until completely smooth.

Squeeze the grated cucumber to remove any excess moisture and then place them

in a serving bowl with the red onion. Stir in the tofu mixture. Chill 2 to 3

hours before serving.

Chips Ingredients:

• 6 pieces pita bread
• 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil
• dashes garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and salt, to taste

Preheat the oven to 350^oF.

Brush the tops of the pita breads very lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle each

pita with the seasonings. Cut each piece into 6 to 8 triangular wedges and place

them in a single layer on baking trays or aluminum foil.

Bake the pita chips until they’re very crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove them

from oven and cool on a rack.

While the Creamy Cucumber Dip makes a great snack, if you’re looking for dinner ideas, try the Black Bean Burgers or BBQ Pulled Jackfruit.

Sit back, watch the game, and enjoy your spread of compassionate foods!
