Directions
Prep: 5 min, Cook: 1 min, Total: 6 min
- In a mini food processor or other blending device, combine all ingredients.
- Process until smooth. Chill for 30 minutes [optional].
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Chef's Note: You can use balsamic vinegar for a deeper flavor. We used mustard powder to decrease the potassium content. The vinegar cuts through the mustard powder’s pungency, so it is a must for this recipe. If you decrease the amount of mustard powder, reduce the amount of vinegar. This pairs with Balsamic Herb Tofu with Rainbow Roast Vegetables.
