Creamy Peanut and Tofu Dressing

February 2, 2016 By Cynthia Leave a Comment

This is a super quick and easy dressing.CreamyPeanutDressing_FoodMack_11

If you are looking for something to pop a plain salad? Try this!  this is the dressing you should try. Not only is it the perfect dressing on a simple salad, it takes Buddha grains and veggie bowls to a whole new level.  Try this fantastic dressing as a dip for fresh veggies or even crispy oven chicken strips.

It is full of flavor, with a thick and creamy texture – you would never know it only has a fraction of the fat of regular peanut dressing.

The key to this dressing is using really great peanut powder (my favorite is Crazy Richard’s Pure PB. I buy it at the local Publix grocery store), and fresh good quality tofu. The surprise ingredient is nutritional yeast which bumps up the umami taste.

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 lime zest and juice You can leave out the lime and just use 2 tbsp of the seasoned rice vinegar. I make it both ways and both are delicious.
  • 3 tbsp pressed peanut powder Best brand: Crazy Richard's Pure PB
  • 1/4 cup soft fresh tofu
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 3 tbsp fresh cilantro minced
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast I love this stuff - it is delicious! It adds a really rich umami flavor.
  • 2 whole green onions (white and green parts)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and de-veined. OPTIONAL
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Assemble ingredients (I usually add a jalapeño - not pictured here)
  2. Add all ingredients to your blender. I take the time to grate the garlic, only because I want to make sure I do not have any large chunks of garlic!
  3. Blend...
  4. ...until smooth and creamy.
  5. Keep in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed jar. It stays yummy in the fridge for a week!
  6. This dressing is so amazing on a Buddha bowl! The rich savory peanut taste goes perfectly with the mixed grains and the fresh vegetables.
  7. YUM!
