Ingredients

  • 16 ounces of silken tofu
  • 2 limes
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons of chili powder
  • 3 teaspoons of garlic powder or one large fresh garlic clove
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons of chipotle pepper, depending on how spicy you would like it to be 
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon of smoked paprika (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend for one minute. Taste and adjust spices and salt levels. (Start with 1 teaspoon of spices and work your way up to achieve the desired levels).

Notes

  • Adjust the consistency: We love the thickness provided by the silken tofu. If you’d prefer it a little thinner, add your favorite plant-based milk (or water), a tablespoon at a time.
  • Season to taste: Add the spices gradually and tweak any of them to your liking to find your preferred flavor profile of smoky, spicy, etc.
  • Leave it to rest: Leaving it for even 30 minutes (a few hours or overnight is even better) will allow time for all the flavors to meld and produce an overall better-tasting vegan taco salad dressing recipe.
