Tofu Ricotta Crostini

"Tofu Ricotta Crostini with Pickled Beets is an elegant appetizer that’s really easy to make. It’s perfect for all occasions from holidays to game days. And this recipe is vegan with a gluten-free option. When it comes to appetizers, you can’t go wrong with crostini. Crostini, means “little toasts” in Italian. They are basically slices of bread brushed with olive oil and toasted, then topped with whatever you like. I decided to make a simple “ricotta” using tofu, lemon, and spices. Then to kick it up a notch, I add small cubes of sweet pickled beets and a tiny sprig of fresh dill. Not only are these appetizers festive for holidays like Christmas and Valentine’s Day, they work well for casual occasions like potlucks, too."
