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!!

Raw Turnip/Apple Salad

1 c raw turnip or rutabaga, peeled and chopped into big chunks
1 c tart green apples, peeled and chopped into big chunks
1/2 c parsley leaves
1 lemon, juiced
1 T. honey or agave
1 T. olive oil
Sea salt and pepper to taste

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.

OPTION: Use lime and cilantro instead of parsley and lemon.
