Lemony Dill Tofu

One day we were brewing a double batch (our spring Mai Bock and a Chai Bourbon Porter). I didn't want to be in the kitchen too much cooking since there was a lot of other things going on. When we double brew, people usually stop over to enjoy the festivities so I knew I wanted to have some easy appetizers spread out throughout the day. Since I was having a heavy meat-eating crowd, I thought it would be fun to throw in some tofu. Plus, the kids will munch on it because I knew they wouldn't sit down for a meal with people over ... I needed food on the go for them.

Lemony Dill Tofu was my answer. The plate was gone quickly. I think because it was good and refreshing but maybe it just went great with the beer too! The kids loved it as well. It was a happy day!

I have made it since then for the kids but I forgo the dipping sauce and they just eat up the tofu. To make more of a meal out of it, serve over some quinoa with a few asparagus spears ... yum!

(And let me quickly say, the beers ended up great too!)

1/4 c sour cream
1/4 almond milk
