Silken tofu
I am not a vegan but I love cooking and eating vegan dishes and there are certain vegan ingredients I am extremely fond of and use quite often. Silken Tofu is one of them!
I love this ingredient for its fabulous silky smooth delicate texture and neutral flavour (with only a hint of soya beans, which easily blends in with other ingredients becoming practically undetectable). I also love its incredible versatility – it works equally well with both sweet and savoury recipes.
A little while ago I made vegan chocolate mousse with banana using silken tofu. This is another quick and easy recipe with loads of flavour and far less calories than any dairy/egg based mousse, however ‘skinny’, would ever be able to manage.
This is because 100 g of silken tofu contains only 3 g fat!
Which is also why silken tofu should be an everyday ingredient used in all sorts of dishes, vegan and beyond!
It’s affordable and available in most supermarkets.
Here is another easy, delicious recipe I made recently you might like: vegan casserole with peppers and tofu.
Easy vegan caesar dressing
In this vegan caesar dressing I swapped the anchovies for a small amount of capers. Together with the garlic, lemon juice and a little vinegar, they create a moreishly tangy, savoury sauce. Just combine all the ingredients, season to taste, blend until smooth and serve (if you have a bit of time it’s a good idea to refrigerate the sauce for 30 minutes before serving).

Thanks Sid, let me know how it turns out!
Silken tofu is great, isn’t it? I love using it in sauces and puddings – it’s so versatile. And I love the look and sound of your caesar dressing, definitely one to make when it’s warm enough to have salad! Have pinned, tweeted, and shared on my FB so everyone can share the love! xx
Thank you! Glad you like my recipe, and I am not surprised you also love silken tofu!
What a great idea! I had no idea silken tofu was so low in fat. Definitely sounds like an ingredient I should be using more. Thanks for linking this up to #CookBlogShare. Eb x
