This creamy dressing with tofu and cilantro makes a smart choice for topping salads. “I whip it up in no time,” Nancy Wherry promises from Chula Vista, California.

Ingredients:
• 2 green onions
• 3/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 10 ounces soft tofu, drained and crumbled (1-1/4 cups)
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar

Directions:
1. Thinly slice one green onion; set aside. Cut the other onion into pieces; place in a blender. Add the cilantro, garlic, honey, oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and salt; cover and process until blended. Add tofu and vinegar; cover and process until smooth.

2. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in the sliced onion. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
