No-Cheese Spread

"Yummy recipe that's nice and nutty, and delicious on crackers! Great if you are trying to ease up on dairy foods. Got this from the book 'May All Be Fed : Diet For a New World.' This book says it's also great on pizza but I haven't tried that yet. I cut the recipe in half for myself, and I have plenty for the week."
