    How to Make Creamy Horseradish-Dill Dressing

    1. Blend Tofu and Initial Ingredients

    Start by removing the tofu from its package and shaking off any excess water. Place the tofu in your blender or food processor along with the grated horseradish, apple cider vinegar, agave syrup, and salt. Blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    2. Infuse Garlic in Oil

    Preheat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the crushed garlic and grapeseed oil to the pan, cooking gently while stirring occasionally for about two minutes. The garlic should lightly brown, releasing its aromatic compounds without burning. Once done, remove the garlic from the oil and discard it.

    3. Blend Garlic-Infused Oil

    Pour the garlic-infused oil into the tofu mixture and blend again until smooth.

    4. Add Dill and Final Blend

    Add the fresh dill to the blender and blend until the dressing is uniformly light green with flecks of dill throughout. Be sure to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined. Taste the dressing and adjust the salt and vinegar if needed.

    5. Chill and Serve

    Transfer the dressing to a bowl, seal it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Enjoy your creamy horseradish-dill dressing with salads, vegetables, or as a flavorful dip.

    Variations

    Green Goddess Dressing

    Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley, tarragon, and chives in addition to the dill. Avocado can be blended into the base for a richer texture. This dressing pairs beautifully with a variety of salads, especially those with leafy greens.

    Caesar Dressing

    Swap out horseradish for anchovy paste and add grated Parmesan cheese. This creates a robust dressing that is a staple for Caesar salads.

    Caper-Lemon Dressing

    Stir in chopped capers and extra lemon zest in place of horseradish. This variant is excellent with seafood salads or as a sauce for grilled fish.

    Citrus Zing

    Add the zest of one lemon or lime to the dressing. This will cut through the richness with a bright, tangy note that complements the horseradish and dill beautifully.

    Creamy Mustard Dressing

    Substitute the horseradish with a strong Dijon mustard or whole-grain mustard. This works well with roasted potatoes or as a dressing for a hearty steak salad.
