Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 block (about 14 oz) silken tofu
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley leaves
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 2 tablespoons water (adjust for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Start by draining the block of silken tofu and patting it dry with a paper towel. This will help reduce excess moisture in the dressing.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, combine the plain Greek yogurt and silken tofu. Blend until smooth, creating the creamy base for the dressing.

Step 3

Add the fresh basil leaves, parsley leaves, cilantro leaves, and green onion tops. You may need to rough chop these ingredients first to assist with blending.

Step 4

Peel and smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavor. Add them to the blender with the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Blend everything together until the herbs are finely chopped and the dressing is smooth and homogenous, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Check the consistency of your dressing. If it's too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the dressing into a jar or airtight container and stir in the chopped chives to add a fresh oniony flavor.

Step 9

Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir before serving as some separation may occur.
