Mii amo Mayonnaise Substitute


What a great way to incorporate tofu into your diet and reduce the fat and calories normally consumed from traditional mayonnaise. One tablespoon of mayonnaise is 100 calories and 11 grams of fat, compared to two tablespoons of mayonnaise substitute, with only 15 calories
and 0 grams of fat.

2 C Soft Tofu, drained
2 C Plain, Fat-Free Yogurt, drained
1 T Roasted Garlic, minced
2 T Herb Infused Rice Wine Vinegar
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp. Tabasco Sauce
1 tsp. Sea Salt
½ tsp. Ground White Pepper

To drain yogurt, line colander with cheesecloth and place in a bowl. Place yogurt into the colander and refrigerate for at least one hour, to drain. Once drained, you have made yogurt cheese.

To drain tofu, place tofu on a plate and place another plate on top of it. Place a can on top, to remove any excess water. Drain plate and tofu is ready.

In a food processor, combine yogurt cheese, tofu and roasted garlic. Process until garlic has been blended, about 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, process again until combined, about 3 minutes. You may adjust the seasoning with additional sea salt or pepper. Remove from processor bowl and store in an airtight container. This mayonnaise substitute will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Yield: 4 Cups
