Ingredients
Chipotle Ranch Sauce
- 1 block (12 oz) silken tofu, firm or extra firm (shelf-stable type) or use soft produce type
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 whole chipotle in adobo sauce (approx ¾ -1 tablespoon) or chipotle powder, start with 1/4 teaspoon

- 4 teaspoons pure cane sugar (maple sugar, succanat, date sugar, etc)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Instructions
- Drain any water from your tofu before using it. I typically use shelf-stable boxes of silken firm or extra-firm tofu for this recipe, which aren’t packed in much liquid. However, you can also use the refrigerated kind found in the produce section—preferably soft tofu. Just keep in mind it contains more water, so you'll need to drain and press it well before using.
- Place all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
- Now, it's ready to be served as a dip, salad dressing, or topping sauce for my Best Black Bean Burgers and even a delicious Baked Blooming Onion.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
Chipotles are spicy- Chipotle in adobo sauce can be found in the Latino section of most grocery stores. There are 8-10 chilies in each can, and it takes me a while to go through that many because they are quite hot.
Once I open a can, I place the other chilies and sauce into a plastic bag and store them in my refrigerator to be used in other recipes like hummus and salsa. They have a small amount of oil in them, so some may want to use chipotle powder instead.
Chipotle powder substitution- The amount to use really depends on how spicy you want it. I would start with only 1/4 teaspoon and add more after taste testing.
