This recipe is higher fat than the 15% guideline for this website; however, I feel the fat from the ground flaxseeds–which provides the adequate Omega 3s for an entire day for most of us–justifies the higher fat because it is functional nutrition. –tortugita718

This is a recipe I made for a coworker of mine who saw how healthy my homemade vegan meals looked and that I seem healthy and happy. I made this for him and have named it in his honor. –tortugita718

1/2 lb tomatoes seeded and chopped
1 1/2 tbl tomato paste…

1 lb. extra firm tofu
3/4 C. water…

1 Tbsp. water
1/2 c. finely minced onion…

1/2 c all fruit peach or apricot preserves
1/4 c white or cider vinegar…

1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour (I use Gold Medal)…

This ranch dressing uses silken tofu instead of mayo for a low-fat version that will add creaminess to any salad.

There is a traditional Polish salad of grated raw Kohlrabi and carrot – tastes great! Using this as inspiration I have taken things a stage further and made a soup.
