Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Vegan mayo
  • 1/2 Cup (8 oz) Silken tofu
  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened non-dairy milk (oat milk recommended)

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 23 Tablespoons Lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: Add the vegan mayo, silken tofu, and unsweetened non-dairy milk to a food processor. Pulse until completely smooth, making sure to scrape down the sides to incorporate everything evenly.
  2. Add herbs and seasonings: Incorporate the fresh dill, parsley, chives, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper into the processor. Pulse just until blended, ensuring the herbs remain visible in small flecks throughout the mixture.
  3. Adjust seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings as needed by adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
  4. Store dressing: Transfer the dressing into an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within one week for optimum freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use silken tofu for the creamiest texture; firm tofu will result in a chunkier dressing.
  • You can substitute any unsweetened plant milk such as almond, soy, or cashew milk if oat milk is unavailable.
  • The dressing thickens slightly as it chills, so give it a good stir before serving.
  • Adjust lemon juice and herbs to personalize the tanginess and herbal flavor.
  • Great as a dip for veggies or a sauce for grain bowls and sandwiches.
