Easy Vegan Hollandaise Sauce
This Easy Vegan Hollandaise Sauce uses soft tofu as a creamy base blended with mustard, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and spices like turmeric for color. It creates a smooth, tangy sauce reminiscent of traditional Hollandaise without eggs or dairy. The sauce can be gently warmed and served over toasted bread, English muffins, or with sliced tomato and avocado for a rich, dairy-free addition to brunch or snacks.

Notes
- Use soft tofu to get the creamy texture typical of Hollandaise sauce.
- A small amount of turmeric adds the classic yellow color without altering the flavor significantly.
- Season the sauce after blending, adjusting salt, pepper, mustard, and lemon juice to taste for balance.
- Plant-based milk quantity influences thickness; add more for a thinner sauce, less for thicker.
