By Mary McDougall
I have received several requests lately for a ranch dressing, usually questions about whether there is an acceptable one in a bottle. Unfortunately, there is not one I can recommend at this time. However, for those of you who miss having a ranch-style dressing for salads or dips, I think you will be pleased with this recipe. This will keep in the refrigerator for at least a week.

Serves: Makes about 2 cups

Cook Time: 0 min

Ingredients

12 Ounce Package Silken tofu

1/3 Cup Tofu sour cream

1/2 Cup Water

2 1/2 Tbsp Lemon juice

1 Tbsp Parsley flakes

1 Tbsp Chives

1 Tsp Dill weed

1/2 Tsp Garlic powder

Pinch Dry mustard

Several Twists Freshly ground pepper

Dash Salt

Directions

1 Place tofu in a blender or food processor and process briefly. Add remaining ingredients and process until very smooth. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until use.

Hint: Add a tablespoon or two more water for a thinner consistency, if desired. Add a bit more salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Flavors will intensify during refrigeration so it is best to make this ahead of time.
