Directions

"Great on caesar (see variation at the end of recipe) or any other salad..It's a good idea although not necessary, to blanch the tofu before using it in this recipe. Just drop it into boiling water, simmer 2 to 3 minutes, then drain it on paper towels." In food processor or blender, blend garlic, water, vinegar, oil, mustard, salt, thyme and pepper With motor running, gradually add tofu; process until smooth. Mix in parsley. Taste; adjust seasoning.

VARIATION: for tofu caesar dressing (non vegetarian) , reduce salt to a pinch. Blend in 4 anchovies with mustard mixture. Add ¼ cup grated parmesan with tofu.
