Tofu Aioli

Aioli, the classic Mediterranean garlic mayonnaise, gets a makeover.  Whipped Mori-Nu® Silken Tofu, the ultrasmooth kind, does the best mayonnaise impersonation this side of Provence, bringing the fat and cholesterol content way down and the protein component way up.  A dose of prepared horseradish adds the perfect zip.

• This sauce keeps for several weeks if stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
• Serve Tofu Aioli with raw or steamed vegetables, as a garnish for soups, on top of lima beans, steamed greens, pasta, or rice, spread onto crackers or sandwiches, with cooked fish....many etceteras!
