Tofu Thousand Island Dressing

The other Thousand Island dressing on this site is nut-based, and I found this delicious alternative from the McDougall cookbook that uses tofu which will easily cut down the fat content. I added more red onion, a bit of shallot and apple cider vinegar. Roger loved it on the big wedge of romaine lettuce!
