  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Drain the pack of firm tofu and add it into a food processor or blender along with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. If using a food processor, you will need to belnd a little longer and add a splash of plant-based milk.
  • This sour cream recipe can be served immediately but is best after being refrigerated for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

Tofu: Firm tofu is recommended for this recipe. Silken tofu results in a thinner consistency but will still be delicious. If you prefer, you can use silken tofu in replace of firm tofu but it will need to chill in the fridge a little longer than the firm tofu version.
 
Important Note: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
