This Tofu Mayonnaise is a brilliant, healthy twist on the classic condiment, offering a rich, creamy texture without the heavy oils or eggs. By blending soft tofu with nonfat plain yogurt, you create a smooth, tangy sauce that mimics the mouthfeel of traditional mayo but with significantly fewer calories and fat. The addition of Dijon mustard, vinegar, and a hint of garlic provides that essential zing and depth of flavor. It’s perfect for spreading on sandwiches, mixing into potato salad, or using as a dip for fresh vegetables. This recipe is ideal for vegetarians, vegans (with a simple swap), and anyone looking to lighten up their favorite dishes without sacrificing taste or satisfaction.
