A creamy and flavorful tofu-based sauce perfect for salads, bowls, or as a dip.
Prepare the tofu by draining it and cutting it into smaller pieces.
Draining the tofu helps achieve a smoother texture in the sauce.
Add the tofu, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, basil, olive oil, and water to a blender.
Layer the liquid ingredients first in the blender for easier blending.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are evenly blended.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add a pinch of salt or a splash of soy sauce if you prefer a stronger flavor.
Serve the sauce chilled or at room temperature.
This sauce pairs well with fresh salads or as a dip for vegetables.
