Ingredients
- 1 cup Silken tofu (unsweetened, drained)

- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (vegan, sugar-free)
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Capers (rinsed and drained)

- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions
Add the silken tofu, olive oil, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to a blender or food processor.
Next, add Dijon mustard, vegan Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, capers, and nutritional yeast to the blender.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
If the dressing is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Pour the dressing into a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the dressing over crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, and other salad toppings of your choice. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
