Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup silken tofu, firm
  • 5 tbsp dill, fresh
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp stone ground mustard
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • 4 cups pasta, cooked
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup Baked Tofu, diced small (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add silken tofu, dill, maple syrup, vinegar, mustard, black pepper and garlic powder to a blender and blend until well combined. Add water if dressing is too thick to blend well.
  2. Mix pasta, veggies, Baked Tofu (if using) and dressing in a large serving bowl. Chill salad for 1 to 2 hours before serving. If serving salad the next day, keep 1/3 of the dressing to add the following day. Tofu can also be added before serving.
