Tofunaise
So many people have grown accustomed to using store-bought eggless mayonnaise as a substitute for typical mayonnaise. However, while eggless mayonnaise is one step closer to better health, it still contains preservatives, processed oils, and other chemicals. For a natural and healthy mayonnaise substitute, this tofunaise recipe will serve you perfectly.
The tofu used in this recipe is made with organic soybeans and seawater instead of Nigari (starter). It is mixed with slightly roasted fennel, which gives it a distinct flavor. You can add sliced olives, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and other herbs and spices as desired.
Soybeans are endowed with potent plant compounds known as isoflavones that bear similarities to phytoestrogens, activating estrogen receptors in your body—especially beneficial for women. Isoflavones also help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving blood vessel elasticity.
The phytonutrients in tofu also help prevent and reduce diabetes, as well as alleviate symptoms of prostate cancer and other digestive tract cancers. This tofunaise recipe is easy to make with only six ingredients and takes just 20 minutes to prepare. It tastes amazing and is far healthier than regular mayo. Enjoy it on sandwiches, in coleslaw, or as a dressing for your salads.
Nutritional Benefits: Tofu is a healthy vegan protein rich in all nine essential amino acids your body requires. In addition to protein, it provides fiber, healthy fats, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, selenium, and copper. One hundred grams of tofu contains only 70 calories, making it an excellent protein source for weight management. Tofu is also a great source of fiber that helps you stay full longer and regulates blood sugar levels, aiding in diabetes management.
