1. Blend Ingredients
Place all the ingredients—fresh silken tofu, brown rice vinegar, grapeseed oil, agave nectar, salt, ground white pepper, and mustard powder—into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Adjust Seasoning
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to taste.
3. Chill Dressing
Transfer the dressing to a tightly covered container and place in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Ensure that your silken tofu is drained well but handle it gently as it's very delicate. Removing excess moisture is important to achieve the creamy consistency without making it watery.
Take the time to blend the dressing until it's completely smooth. Silken tofu can be stubborn with tiny lumps remaining, so a high-speed blender is preferable to achieve that silky-smooth texture.
Start with the recipe's base ratios but taste as you go. Adjusting the acidity with a bit more vinegar, or adding a touch of sweetness with honey or maple syrup can create a more balanced dressing. Remember that ingredients like soy sauce already add saltiness, so add additional salt with caution.
Garlic and ginger lose their potency over time. Use freshly grated garlic and ginger for the best flavor. Pre-minced or powdered versions can taste dull in comparison.
Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or chives, can add a bright, fresh taste to the dressing. If you’re using citrus zest, make sure to use a microplane for fine zest that will distribute evenly throughout the dressing.
