Sun-Dried Tomato Cilantro "Mayo"

This is my last post for tonight. My fingers are cold. Heat is only set at 62 degrees so I can save some cash, plus it is bed time. Besides, who needs a lot of heat when you can bury yourself underneath a warm, corduroy quilt and be sandwiched by these adorable little guys -->>

So, yesterday I decided to do something with my huge clump of cilantro before it went bad. By the way, can anyone tell me why grocery stores have to sell parsley and cilantro in such huge bunches? I am only one person, and cannot possibly eat that much of one herb before it turns to black mush. Too bad my garden is under tundra, as I would love to pull my own cilantro right now!!!

Anyway, I threw the following ingredients into the food processor, and made my own fantastic vegan mayo:

Ingredients

1 box silken tofu
plain soy milk
cilantro
sun-dried tomatoes (which take forever to blend, by the way! chop in advance to make it easier on yourself)
ground mustard (not a ton)
turmeric - tiny bit for color

I think that was it. Unfortunately, the tomatoes I used had been in olive oil, so there will be more fat in this recipe than is necessary, but that's fine. It gave the "mayo" that silky taste to make it feel like an indulgence! Use this on any veggie burger, "chicken" sandwich, or whatever you choose. The cilantro/sun-dried tomato combination gives this mayo a taste you will treasure!
