- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Drain the silken tofu and pat it dry gently with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it to make it easier to blend.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of water, blending in between, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Step 6
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Step 7
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
