Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the red bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast it for 20 minutes, turning it halfway through, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Remove the pepper from the oven and transfer it to a bowl. Cover it with a plate or plastic wrap and let it steam for 10 minutes.
Peel off the charred skin of the roasted pepper, remove the seeds and stem, and roughly chop the flesh.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red pepper, silken tofu, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic clove, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the tofu mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a spread for sandwiches, a dip for vegetables, or a dressing for salads. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
