Very Special Tofu Sour Cream

Submitted by msmia

"From "The Real Food Daily Cookbook" by Ann Gentry. This is a truly amazing sour cream. I have made it five times already (in one week after eating at RFD) and used it plain & in several recipes. It actually has less calories than dairy fat free sour cream & is infinitely more delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.."

Indeed, this is one vegan sour cream with a special edge! The garlic, mustard, and dill marry beautifully to disguise from the staunchest omnivore any hint of "tofu-ness." I used apple cider vinegar plus a pinch of salt, as I understand that umeboshi has a saltier taste. Works perfectly and I will keep this one! Thanks, msmia!
