Preparation
Step 1
Place the silken tofu, oil, lime juice, garlic and salt into a food processor and blend until very smooth, scraping down sides if need be, blending more.
Step 2
Add the jalapeño and cilantro and pulse repeatedly until desired consistency. Sometimes I’ll blend this until very smooth like pictured above and vibrant green ( great for squeeze bottles) and sometimes I’ll leave a little texture ( see other photo). BUT, keep in mind, you want the silken tofu base – very very smooth, however you choose to go. 🙂
Step 3
Taste, adjust salt lime and jalapeno to toast. Add some chili flakes if you like.
Step 4
For a little more richness add another tablespoon or two of olive oil.
Step 5
