Ingredients

1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon finely minced orange peel
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup yogurt "cheese"
2 tablespoons flavorful oil (like extra-virgin olive oil)
cayenne, white or black pepper, to taste (optional)

Steps:

Place all the ingredients in a blender jar and process them at medium speed until creamy. Or, combine the orange juice, vinegar, orange peel and salt in a bowl and whisk them together, then beat in the yogurt "cheese" until well-combined. Gradually beat in the oil and, if desired, season with cayenne or pepper. Use as a dressing for shredded cabbage or other salads or as a sauce for tofu, fish or tempeh.
