Easy Creamy Salad Dressing

From the Fat Free Vegan E-Mail list


I like creamy salad dressings that seem full of fat so since we can't have that "fat" (nasty word)--here is my salad dressing:


1 box Mori Nu tofu, lite (yellow and white box)
3 T. rice vinegar
1/2 t. salt (opt.)
1 t. Schillings salt free garlic & herb spices


Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. I really like this dressing. You can make a base of the tofu and vinegar and salt and then do whatever seasonings you like!!

1 c tart green apples, peeled and chopped into big chunks

1 lemon, juiced
1 T. honey or agave

In a food processor, using the S blade, pulse chop the turnips, apples and parsley leaves all together. Combine with everything else in a big bowl. Chill.
