One of my dad’s nicknames was the “captain”. With the nickname of captain, you might be wondering what he is the captain of. Without a doubt, he is the captain of sauces and condiments! I do not think I have seen him eat a meal without at least three different sauces on his plate. Before he went plant-based in December, his favorite sauce or condiment was certainly sour cream.
As his son, I have also been known to overdo it with the sauces from time to time. As I was coming up with this recipe, I wanted to make sure that it was not only vegan, oil free, and healthy, but most importantly a delicious substitution for anyone transitioning to a plant based diet. This sour cream is made with the base of silken tofu.
I know there are a lot of people who are not big fans of the flavor of tofu, but I can attest that the tofu flavor is much less than any of other the soy-based sour creams that I have tried. If you want to get an even more realistic sour cream flavor, I recommend making it ahead of time and leaving it in the fridge over night.
Making your own vegan sour cream is a great way to help your family and friends transition to a dairy-free way of living and eating!
