Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz block extra-firm tofu, drained
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)

Method
 

  1. Drain the tofu, pat it dry, and crumble into a food processor.
  2. Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Pulse then run for about 30 seconds until coarse and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning, then pulse 5 seconds to combine.

Notes

For a smoother texture, let the mixture sit for 10 minutes after blending to let the flavors meld. Use within 5 days.
