Simple Make Ahead Appetizers
I have a friend who lives in Vermont. This friend and I have gotten together to cook many times. Her aunt has a folder full of recipes clipped out of newspapers over the years that my friend shared with me. Among all the recipe clippings were some from the Quechee Times. The recipe author is Jayne Pettit.
These
appetizer dip recipes are from the late 80's and early 90's. Ms. Pettit
knew the value of good nutrition and it shows in these unique appetizer
recipes, some that are low-fat and some that include the use of tofu.
These simple to make appetizers are unique and have a gourmet edge. These
are four of our favorites.
Caper Dip
2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon yellow onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 3/4 oz jar capers, drained, juice reserved
Process all the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth, adding liquid as needed to achieve correct consistency. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

1/2 pound soft tofu, cubed
1/4 cup dark honey
1/4 cup shallot mustard
