Smokey Tofu Mayo Dressing Recipe
Makes about 4 cups
Ingredients:
1 block 14 oz extra firm tofu
1 garlic clove
5 stalks green onion, roots trimmed
4 medjool dates, pitted
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3⁄4 cup ice water
Additional herb options: dill, basil, cilantro, parsley, tarragon
Instructions:
1. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. If still grainy, add a little more water.
2. Chill before using.
Broccoli Salad Ingredients:
2 heads broccoli
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 red onion
2 medium carrots
1 medium apple
1 cup cooked farro
Smokey tofu “mayo” dressing (see above)
Instructions: 1. Cut broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. *
2. Dice onion, carrots, and apple into 1⁄4” pieces.
3. Dice sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Boil until fork tender, drain well, and roast to get some color in a 425 F oven (15-20 minutes).
4. Toast 1⁄2 cup of farro in a dry pan until fragrant. Add 1 1⁄2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, fluff with a fork, and then cover for another 5-10 minutes.
5. Toss all the ingredients in the creamy dressing and chill before serving.
*If you prefer your broccoli not as raw tasting, blanch for 1 minute in hot water then shock in ice. Trim off the more fibrous outer portion of the stem and make sure to chop up and include this portion in your salad. Note: preparing this a day ahead optimizes the nutrient punch of many of these ingredients. The sweet potatoes and farro will develop more resistant starch content and the broccoli will contain more of the amazing health-promoting compound, sulforaphane.
