Perfect and easy to whip up to give your salad that creaminess you desire.
Ingredients
1 package Mori-Nu firm tofu
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp of dijon mustard
1/2 dill pickle
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp garlic powder
cracked black pepper
salt to taste
1 tbsp or more of pickle juice (until desired thickness is achieved)
Method
Put all ingredients into blender cup! Add water until desired consistency. Keep in a jar or deli cup.
Notes
Contrary to popular belief, salad dressings do not need to be made with oil. Oil does not help the nutritional profile of salads and just adds empty calories and saturated fats. To achieve the same level of emulsification, we can use unsweetened apple sauce, mustard, no-oil added hummus or chickpeas, white beans or aqua faba as a base. Please note: I would not recommend using beans or aqua faba without using a blender, as any blender (Magic Bullet, immersion blender, Vitamix, stand mixer) adds enough power to produce a nice emulsification to get a thicker sauce.
