The recipe is quite delicious and will make a plain salad "pop" And given how rich and creamy it is, only 14 cal per Tblspoon is really surprising. Caution The recipe makes a lot. Since I am not sure how long it will keep, I gave half of it away.
Sesame Tofu Dressing
James Carrier
Notes: This creamy dressing tastes as smooth and rich as one made with mayonnaise, but it is far leaner and higher in protein. Serve it as a dip for raw vegetables or as a salad dressing. Chill airtight up to 1 week.
Yield: Makes 2 1/2 to 3 cups
