Main Ingredients

14 oz extra-firm tofu Serves as the foundation providing the satisfying texture.
½ to ⅔ cup plain, unsweetened vegan yogurt Adds creamy richness and tangy flavor, ensuring it's nut-free.
1 tablespoon lemon juice Elevates flavor with a refreshing note.
¾ to 1 teaspoon fine sea salt Essential for flavor enhancement, adjust to taste.
½ teaspoon garlic powder Adds depth to the flavor.

Preparation

Remove the tofu from the package and wrap it in a tea towel or paper towels. Lightly squeeze to release some excess water.
Place the tofu into a mixing bowl along with the yogurt and seasonings, starting with the lesser amount of yogurt and salt.
Using a fork, mash the tofu alongside the yogurt and seasonings until you achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for an hour or more to let flavors meld together.

Experiment with different seasonings like fresh herbs, nutritional yeast, black pepper, or jalapeños for added flavor.
