Very tasty indeed! I used a soft tofu, as well as the yogurt and this was wonderful. I didn't add the kelp powder, but instead I put a bit of capsicum and a couple of diced cherry tomatoes. The garlic was terrific used here and the vinegar really gave it a kick. I halved this recipe, only using one avocado, 1/4 cup silken tofu, 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Really quite delicious as we served with some baked tortilla chips. Next time, I might add some hot sauce as I love my foods really spicy, but certainly no need to use that here. I didn't blend this in the processor as we were hungry, and just mixed with my spoon for a rustic look. Great! Thank you bluemoon downunder!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
