Tofu spread

Tofu spread is an original and healthy spread. In creating this recipe, we were simply inspired by nature.  Everything is beautifully green, so we also tuned into the green this time.  Are you getting ready for a picnic?  Expecting guests for a barbecue?  Or do you just have a craving for something light, healthy, and extraordinary? Try this spread – most of the ingredients you certainly already have at home.
