- Low-fat tofu, instead of high-fat mayonnaise, is the secret of this low-fat coleslaw dressing. Its bland flavor makes it a good base for the garlic, cilantro, bell pepper and other high-flavor ingredients. You can find low-fat tofu, that has less than half the fat of regular tofu, in vacuum-packed cartons in the produce section of supermarkets.
- Nondairy soy lowfat milk may be substituted for the low-fat buttermilk, that is used to thin the tofu.
- Toasting the mustard seeds before grinding brings out their flavor.
- Keep any leftover dressing in the refrigerator and use it on salad greens.
