As for salad dressings, we always look for something new and healthier than the supermarket bought.

Using Tofu as a Salad Dressing Base?

It’s high in protein, low in fat, and works especially well as a creamy, dairy-free emulsifier.

For the best effect, go with soft or silken tofu. Firm tofu is too dense and chewy.

The method is quite easy: steam the tofu, then blend it up in a blender or food processor until smooth. That’s your base.

One of my favorite flavored tofu dressing salad is:

Shredded chicken, topped with tofu dressing, seasoned with a mix of peanut butter, chili oil, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together.

The tofu paste gives the whole salad a silky mouthfeel and a gentle sweetness, with more protein less fat and no sugar at all. Sounds great, isn’t it?
