Silky, sweet, and tangy, this versatile poppy seed dressing is made with extra-firm silken tofu, delivering a luxuriously creamy finish that’s perfect for drizzling over leafy salads or tossing with shredded cabbage for a standout vegan coleslaw. Dijon mustard and rice vinegar add just the right zing, and poppy seeds lend a hint of nuttiness and a pleasing crunch.

Gluten-free version: To make this gluten-free, use a gluten-free brand of Dijon mustard.
