Vegan blue cheese dressing
Creamy non-dairy blue cheese works wonderfully on a romaine or wedge style salad. Dunk your spicy cauliflower wings into it. Or use it as a sandwich spread on top of buffalo chickpeas.
Servings: 4 people
Calories: 100kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup crumbled tofu about 2.5 ounces super firm tofu*
- ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise I use Vegenaise
- 1 to 2 teaspoons non-dairy milk I use cashew milk
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, vegan mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, dried parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and pinch of salt.
- If you're planning on using this dressing for a salad or would just like a thinner dressing, add an additional teaspoon of non-dairy milk, and stir to combine.If you're planning on using the dressing for a sandwich spread, you likely won't need any extra non-dairy milk. (If the dressing seems too thin, stir in another dollop of vegan mayo.)
- Taste for seasonings and adjust if necessary. Move dressing to a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
For the tofu, I like to use super firm tofu in vacuum packaging, because it's not packed in water. Water-packed tofu may add too much additional liquid and/or dilute the flavor.
You can use water-packed tofu, but you may want to press it first. (Here's how to press tofu.)
If you don't want to wait, you can use drained tofu without pressing. However, slowly add the non-dairy milk to the dressing, because you may not need as much.
The salad dressing will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to four days. If it thickens while storing, add another splash of non-dairy milk and stir before serving.
