Directions

Step 1

Place the silken tofu, ketchup, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard into a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and maple syrup (if using).

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as desired. Add an additional pinch of salt or a touch more vinegar for brightness, if needed.
