"I love this stuff! I've been eating it on everything from falafal to my salads. Yummy. This is a slight adaptation from a recipe I found in a cookbook I got at the library called "Meatless Burgers" by Louise Hagler. The original recipe called for making the tofu mixture and using that as a mayo. replacement, offering other options to use 1/2 cup of the mayo. I wasn't a huge fan of the basic recipe but loved this russian dressing so I am posting it here in proportions to use the whole tofu mix. The original recipe called for whatever sweetner you choose. I use sucanat (unrefined cane sugar) but you could use what you like. You may need just a bit more ketchup and pickle relish. Taste it after you make it to see."

I used splenda instead of sucant and kept everything else the same. The dressing was a little to sweet for me and very thick. It was good but next time I will definately use less sugar. With the sweet pickle relish perhaps even no extra sugar is needed. I would recommend tasting before adding. I also put everything into the processor because I didn't want chunky dressing. Thanks for posting ladypit.

Wow! This dressing is outstanding. I couldn't taste the tofu a single bit, it just tasted like the most flavorful, chunky dressing I've ever made. I used lemon juice and regular sugar in place of the sucanat. I used this in a turkey wrap and it was fantastic. I can't wait to try it on other things.
