Ingredients

• 1 block (approximately 14 oz) Firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Water (if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu: Drain the tofu block and press it between two plates or using a tofu press to remove excess moisture. Let it press for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

Crumble the pressed tofu into smaller chunks and add it to a food processor or blender.

Step 3

Add the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to help it blend, but keep the consistency thick and spreadable.

Step 5

Transfer the tofu mixture to a medium-sized bowl.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped parsley, chives, and dill using a spatula until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 7

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the finished Tofu Boursin into a serving dish or airtight container. For the best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
