Place the silken tofu, sundried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic clove, maple syrup, water, salt, and black pepper into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended.
Serve the dressing over salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or use it as a dip for fresh veggies or crackers.
Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or stir well before each use.
