Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu and pat it dry gently with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it to make it easier to blend.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of water, blending in between, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
