Cucumber-tofu dressing

Saw a recipe for cucumber sauce on the list today; if you don’t eat milk,
this is an alternative. I made it the other night for falafels (baked of
course) and it was fine:

about 8 oz. tofu (your choice, I used White Wave reduced-fat)
2 T. capers
1/4 c. lemon juice
pinch of black pepper

whirl in blender until smooth

grate 1 medium cucumber (no, you don’t need to remove seeds) and squeeze out
the excess liquid. Stir into the tofu mixture. Add a small amount of
chopped fresh mint if available. Let stand for a while so the flavors blend.

NOTES : “Here’s a tasty take-off on German potato salad. It’s flavored like
the traditional side dish but uses noodles in place of potatoes. I always
loved my mother’s German potato salad, but once she served this noodle salad
instead, I was hooked.” Submitted by Gordon Kremer, Sacramento, California.
