Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Silken tofu
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons Water (to adjust consistency, if needed)
Instructions
Place the silken tofu, ketchup, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard into a blender or food processor.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and maple syrup (if using).
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as desired. Add an additional pinch of salt or a touch more vinegar for brightness, if needed.
If the dressing is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, blending between additions, until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Use the dressing as a dip, a salad topping, or a sandwich spread. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
