- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
- ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Add the crushed garlic to a bowl with fresh lemon juice and let it soak for 5 minutes.
- Add the tofu to a bowl and mash it with a fork.
- Add mashed tofu, garlic and lemon juice, olive oil, nutritional yeast, oregano, onion powder, sea salt and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse it until the ingredients are well combined but the texture is still chunky.

Notes
- Storing: Keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy it within 5 days.
