Silken tofu is the perfect substitute for mayonnaise as the base of this creamy, rich dressing.

Ingredients:

• 1 (16-ounce) package silken tofu
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 4 cups torn green leaf lettuce
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1 (4.5-ounce) package seasoned croutons
• Shredded vegan Parmesan, for serving

1. Combine the tofu, garlic, Dijon, and lemon juice in a blender; process until smooth and creamy.
2. Combine the lettuce, tomato, and croutons in a large bowl. Pour about 1/2 cup dressing over the salad; reserve the remaining dressing for another use.
3. Divide into serving bowls and sprinkle each serving with the Parmesan, if desired.
