Blend Your Sauces
I recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.
Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!
What’s In Vegan Sour Cream?
What makes plant-based cooking easier for me is keeping whole ingredients on hand: beans, lentils & grains, and lots of fresh produce. I order many of those from Misfits Market, which focuses on reducing food waste! Get $25 off your first order if you’d like to try it.
- Silken Tofu
- Nutritional Yeast: not to be confused with bread baking yeast, nutritional yeast has a cheesy nutty umami flavor which is great in all kinds of dishes – I even sprinkle it on fresh popped pop corn and WOW! Also great in soups and sauces of all kinds.
- Fresh lemon juice
- Red Wine Vinegar: I used red wine vinegar to give this sauce a really nice bright flavor – for that, red wine vinegar is my go-to!
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that get used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
- Sea Salt
How Do I Make Sour Cream Dairy Free?
- Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor, and mix on low speed until the tofu becomes creamy and thick. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
- Dollop on tacos, add to sauces to make them creamy, or enjoy as a veggie dip!
