Dill Pickle Dip
It’s no secret, I’m a big pickle lover and I literally like ALL kinds! And I wanted to create a dip in their honor. So here it is, the dill pickle tofu dip.
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
This recipe calls for firm tofu. It provides a creamy texture while holding its shape well. It’s very important to use firm tofu and not extra-firm tofu.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Nutritional yeast is an inactive yeast that is used in cooking because of its slightly cheesy, umami flavor. It comes in flake or powder form and is a staple in plant-based recipes. I love adding it to pasta sauces, salad dressings, and dips.
Yes, you can use maple syrup as a replacement to make it all-vegetable.
