Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (about 12 ounces) Silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened non-dairy milk
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu and gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, olive oil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, dried chives, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again to incorporate the seasonings.
Gradually add the unsweetened non-dairy milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more lemon juice for tanginess, salt for flavor, or non-dairy milk for a thinner texture.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
