Question:

If you like creamy dressings begin w/1 pkg. soft silken tofu, add 1 tsp. garlic and onion powders (or to taste), 1 tablespoon dried chives or fresh even better, 1 tablespoon parsley flakes (optional), and a tablespoon of lemon juice, dash of salt. Cream w/wire whip and refrigerate, the longer it sits the better the flavor as spices saturate tofu. Simple, healthy and tastes like ranch flavor milk based dressings.
