🧾 Ingredients

Silken tofu: I used silken tofu packed in water found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. You could also use shelf-stable silken tofu.
Fresh lemon juice: Adds a bright tart tangy flavor.
Apple cider vinegar: Adds a tangy sour flavor.
Olive oil: Adds a creamy rich texture and helps it thicken a little.
Agave syrup: You could use another sweetener.
Salt: Enhances flavors. I like to use sea salt.
