Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of silken tofu
- 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of agave nectar or cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne
- 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients except for the olive oil in an upright blender and start blending.
- Once you've started blending, slowly add the oil. Ideally, it's being poured into the blender in the thinnest stream from your tablespoons as possible. Blend until smooth.
Notes
- Add oil slowly: When adding the olive oil to the slaw dressing mixture, pour in the thinnest stream possible so you can properly gauge if you’ve had enough. Too much will ruin the consistency of the dressing.
- Label clearly for freshness: Add a label for your homemade salad dressing that includes the date it was made. This way, everyone in your house knows until when it is good to use.
- Taste test first: Always taste your salad dressing before adding more salt or other seasonings. It is best to try it with a piece of lettuce or cabbage leaf to have an idea of how to balance the flavors better.
- Shake well before use: Always shake your homemade dressing before adding it to your salad once it has been stored. This is to ensure that the flavor redistributes and the texture becomes smoother.
