This dressing/dip is easy to make and delicious to eat! Best of all, it’s made without any store bought vegan mayo, oil or cheese of course. Similar to my Vegan Ranch Dressing, I use raw cashews to create a creamy texture, along with a few other simple ingredients that give this a real “blue cheese” feel. I think you are going to love it!
How to make it
Start out by soaking a cup and a half of raw cashews, or cashew pieces. Often the cashew pieces are less expensive, so I usually buy them instead of the whole ones. To soften, pour boiling hot water over the cashews (I use my tea kettle) and let them soak for 5-10 minutes.

Drain the cashews, then add to a high powered blender, along with 3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and dried dill and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend until very smooth and creamy. Pour the creamy mixture into a large bowl or container, and then crumble 1/4th of a block of firm tofu into the dressing. Stir, then refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, to let the flavors mingle. The little tofu chunks won’t taste like tofu at all, but rather will taste like little chunks of blue cheese!
Possible Substitutions
Tofu: If you want a smooth dressing, simply leave out the tofu. Cashews: If you have a nut allergy, you could replace the cashews and water with vegan mayo. Of course, it won’t be oil free then, but it will work. Replace the cashews and water with 1 cup of vegan mayo. Whisk in the other ingredients, then crumble in the tofu.
How to make a Wedge Salad
Wash and cut a head of iceberg lettuce into wedges. Make a batch of Baked Tempeh Bacon and crumble it on top, along with diced tomatoes, chives, perhaps avocado chunks and then drizzle blue cheese on top. Delicious!
It’s also perfect for dipping Vegan Cauliflower Buffalo Wings in. However you use it, I hope you enjoy!
