This vegan version of a classic blue cheese dressing is perfect for dipping our Easy Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, or anything else you like to snack on. Crumbles of firm tofu mimic the chunky texture of traditional blue cheese sauce, while umami-rich ingredients like nutritional yeast and white miso lend a savory funk to the creamy base of vegan mayo and spices. Thin this out with a little non-dairy milk for a more pourable dressing to use on salads.
Note: Plan on pressing the tofu at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Getting out as much moisture as possible is key to the texture of this dressing. And be sure you’re buying firm or extra-firm tofu (not silken, which will fall apart). See vegetarian chefs’ best tips and tricks for tofu for more pointers.
Shopping List: You can find nooch in the health food aisle of many conventional stores, or buy nutritional yeast online. Ditto the miso paste, but be sure to look for white miso paste, which is the mildest form of miso (compared to yellow miso and red miso). We used Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Mayo, but you can use whatever brand of vegan mayonnaise is your favorite.
