Vegan Ranch Dressing
|
Ingredients:
12 oz extra-firm silken
tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 Tbsp vegan mayonnaise
(Veganaise is best!)
¼ cup water
2 Tbsp vegetable broth
powder
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion flakes
1 tsp light agave nectar
(or sugar)
¼ tsp salt
Pinch black pepper
¼ cup lightly packed fresh
dill (or 1 tsp dried)
|
Directions:
1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add
tofu, and cover. Simmer for 2 minutes and then drain under cool water. (This takes out the beany flavor)
2. Mix the tofu, veganaise, and water in a
blender until smooth.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and blend.
4. Chill until ready to use.

Notes:
Keeps well for about 3 days
in the refrigerator. It won’t last
that long. This is an amazingly good
dressing. You can eat it with anything
asit is only 40 calories for every ¼ cup!
If you just can’t finish it off, blend it with some garbanzo beans for
a great hummus. Adapted from Appetite
