Light & Creamy Tofu Hummus

I like anything involving beans, and hummus is one of my favorite. This tofu version is certainly not very traditional, but it turned out much more creamier and lighter in taste, than the garbanzo version. It is also faster to make, and higher in protein!  And somehow, it even feels healthier!  Banzai Tofu!! : )

1 package (approx 450g) Soft Tofu
100 ml Tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 TBS lemon juice
1 TBS olive oil
3 TBS no fat plain yogurt
1-2 tsp Salt

1. Cut open the package of tofu over your sink. There is usually a fair amount of liquid in the package, depending on the brand you buy. Drain all the liquid and take out the tofu. Wrap the tofu with paper towel, and place it on a microwave-safe dish / bowl. Microwave for 2-3 minutes.

2. Combine tofu and all the rest of the ingredients in a  blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.  Adjust to taste.

3. Drizzle olive oil and garnish with paprika and cilantro.
