🥬 Ingredients

Here's everything you'll need to make our vegan herb tofu dip:

📋 Ingredient Notes

• Silken tofu: This is the secret ingredient for creating a creamy dip without the use of nuts or dairy. A common complaint is that silken tofu can be a bit harder to find at the grocery store. It should be located near other tofu & vegan products. In some cases, it may not be near the other tofu, and instead may be in the global cuisines, vegetarian, or even dairy section of the supermarket.
• Herbs: Tightly pack the herbs in to their measuring containers, otherwise your measurements might not match up with ours.
• Lime juice: freshly squeezed is always best in this dip for a super bright, refreshing flavor.
• Vegan cream cheese: this adds a bit of tanginess and extra creaminess to our tofu dip. You can also use plain non dairy yogurt or vegan sour cream.

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

(1) Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender. (A blender will provide a creamier, smoother texture.)

(2) Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.

(3) Garnish dip with any leftover herbs and serve with fresh veggies.

💭 Expert Tips and FAQs

• Change up the herbs: you can really use any fresh herbs of choice in this tofu dip, including cilantro, parsley, dill, tarragon, basil, mint, etc.
• We love serving this dip with fresh veggies, crackers, or tortilla chips. It has a texture that's similar to a creamy guacamole, so feel free to use it wherever you'd use guac. It also works nicely as a crema for tacos!
• Be sure to taste and adjust salt and pepper before serving.
• You can make this recipe ahead of time and stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Be sure not to use any other variety of tofu other than silken tofu in this recipe. Firm and extra firm tofu have a drastically different texture and will not produce the same results.
• Have some leftover silken tofu? Might sound crazy, but it's the key ingredient in this fabulous vegan chocolate pie!
