High protein, low-calorie vegan Tartar sauce with tofu and Capers
This high protein, low-calorie vegan Tartar sauce with tofu and Capers is creamy and full of flavors without the excess calories of a classical Tartar sauce
Equipment
- 1 Food processor
Ingredients
- 500 g Tofu Soft regular tofu
- 4 tablespoon Caper brine
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoon Minced onions
- 3 tablespoon Minced capers aprox 65g
- 1 Minced Garlic cloves small
Instructions
- Add the tofu (crumble it into smaller pieces with your hands), capers brine, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and salt into the food processor and blend till smooth and creamy (aprox 5 minutes or more depending on the power of your food processor)
- Add the minced onion, garlic, and minced capers to the food processor and mix gently with a spatula till well combined (do not blend just mix and combine them with a spatula or spoon). Alternatively, you can use a bowl for this last step but I prefer to use the bowl of the food processor to avoid having an extra dish to wash
- Add the mixture into an airtight glass container and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours so that the ingredients have time to combine and give you the extra burst of flavors
- Enjoy
Notes
This high-protein, low-calorie vegan Tartar sauce combines great with almost every dish that uses Tartar sauce as an ingredient.
I love to combine it with potato wedges, corn, and chickpeas or add it as dressing to salads for an extra burst of flavor.
