Tofu Sour Cream
By Chef Linda
What's a bowl of vegan Chili, Hungarian Goulash, or a crispy latke without a dollop of sour cream? While you can buy dairy-free sour cream in many grocery stores today, you can also make your own in just a few minutes. Our vegan sour cream has body and tanginess and it's worth learning how to make. If you follow a soy-free diet, substitute 1 1/2 cups soaked raw cashews for the tofu. The result is just as delicious. You'll be looking for dishes to add sour cream to after you try this recipe!
