I live in Ontario, so from about June to September, we get some delicious summery produce like strawberries and peaches. I love this time and typically have these deliciously fresh fruits rotated in the fridge throughout these months. Loving both strawberries and peaches, I thought it would be super tasty to have this delicious pair grilled and resting on top of a delicious dip as a summer snack. Tofu ricotta is so versatile and makes this the perfect base for the recipe while giving this dip a protein boost. To bring this recipe to the next level, I like to add some fresh basil and a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze to balance of the flavours perfectly. Just serve this dish with toasted baguette slices for a summer appetizer that’s equal parts elegant and effortless.

  • Quick to make – a quick blend & grill and you’re ready to go.
  • Seasonally fresh – made with perfectly ripe strawberries and peaches.

Strawberry & Peach Ricotta Dip: Everything You Need

1. Fresh Fruit

This recipe is made with fresh strawberries and peaches, but you could use any fruit combo that you love. I just happen to love how these two taste together and find they complement the savoury tofu and balsamic glaze so well!

2. Tofu

The other major component for this recipe is the tofu for the ricotta dip. Use a soft or medium tofu to be blended in a food processor to make the perfect creamy dip.

3. Something to Dip

Use freshly toasted baguette slices or warmed pita slices to dip into this delicious spread.

Ingredients

Fresh Fruit:

  • 1 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of maple syrup

Tofu Ricotta:

  • 1 block soft tofu
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced 
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice 
  • 1 tsp miso paste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2  tsp salt (plus more to taste)

Topping:

  • Balsamic glaze
  • Fresh basil leave
  • Optional: Add nuts and seeds like walnuts for an extra crunch.

Strawberry & Peach Ricotta Dip: The Process

Instructions:

Prepare Tofu Ricotta

  1. Add the tofu and remaining ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until a creamy texture is achieved.

Prep Fruit

  1. Add peach slices to a small mixing bowl and add 1 tbsp of maple syrup and 1 tbsp of olive oil and mix.
  2. Heat a grilling skillet on medium heat, and add the peach slices. Let sit for 7-10 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, flip, and cook the other side for another 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat
  3. Add strawberries to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed and softened.

Assemble

  1. Add tofu ricotta dip to a bowl and top with grilled strawberries and peaches.
  2. Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze and fresh basil leaves.

Tips and Tricks

The softer the tofu, the creamier the texture will be for the tip. You can absolutely use firm tofu if thats what you have, but note that the texture will be a thicker consistency.

Storage Tips

  • Best served fresh.
  • Leftover ricotta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days.
  • Assemble just before serving to prevent the fruit from weeping or softening too much.
