Tofu Mayonnaise

We were making eggless tofu salad, and forgot to buy mayonnaise,

so we made our own quite easily using a box of Mori-Nu soft silken Tofu (tetra-pak, so shelf-safe for almost a year), and a few ingredients we had on hand. This turned out a little bit bland, but you can experiment by changing some of the added ingredients, like adding more Dijon, dill, garlic, capers & fine herbs, chipotle, etc.

½ box silken tofu (or 6 oz soft tofu)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 small garlic clove
2 Tsp Dijon mustard
2.5 tsp fresh lemon juice
salt & freshly ground pepper

Puree the tofu and oil in a food processor until smooth (scrape down the sides). Add the garlic, mustard & lemon juice and season to taste.

Keeps refrigerated for up to 5 days.
