Notes
Substitution do
- If you're allergic to soy or prefer a different option, you can replace the silken tofu with creamy cashews soaked in water overnight for a similar creamy texture.
Troubleshooting
- If the dressing is too thick, add a splash of water or plant-based milk to achieve your desired consistency. If it's too thin, blend in a few extra tablespoons of silken tofu or nutritional yeast.
