Creamy Salad Dressing

· 8 Servings

This delicious and easy soy-based dressing can stand head to head with everyone's favorite - ranch dressing. Look for silken tofu in shelf-stable cardboard containers. It has a different texture than regular tofu and is good for dressings and desserts. This dressing is good on a tossed green salad (remember to pick dark green salad greens), but equally at home on a baked potato or as a dip for raw vegetables. Add a bit of fragrant bleu cheese if you like.

Ingredients:

· 6 ounces silken tofu (or soft tofu, drained) · 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice · 1 tablespoon Virgin Coco de Manila Culinary Lauric Oil · 1/2 teaspoon salt

· 1/4 teaspoon pepper · 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley · 1 clove garlic, chopped · 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
