Tofu Ranch Dressing/Dip

By Joel Fuhrman

This recipe makes a lovely fresh dip.  I add a bit more water to turn it into a dressing.  This is the perfect salad dressing for hot summer days.

Ingredients:

• 1 package silken tofu
• 3 dates, pitted
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• ¼ cup green onion, chopped
• 3 Tbs. filtered water for dip (or) ¼ cup filtered water for dressing
• 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• 1 ½ Tbs. dried Italian seasoning
• 1 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped (or) 1 tsp. dried
• 1 Tbs. fresh dill, chopped (or) 1 tsp. dried
• 1 tsp. Bragg’s liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper flakes (optional)

Method:

1. Blend all the ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. 
2. Add water as needed to get the consistency you want.
3. Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.

Notes:

1. You can soak the dates in the water or lemon juice beforehand for easier blending.
2. Use as a dressing, dip, spread or mayonnaise substitute in your favorite recipes.
