Curried Tofu Salad image

This is a favorite lunch food. Similar to egg salad but w/o the egg. Can be served as a sandwich or as a dip w/ vege crudites. I've seen similar recipes -- this is my favorite way to make it!! Enjoy!!

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces extra firm tofu (w/ liquid pressed out)
1/2 medium red onion, finely minced
1 stalk celery, finely minced
1/4 cup Miracle Whip or 1/4 cup mayonnaise, more if desired
4 teaspoons curry powder (or more)
1/4 lemon, juice of
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • To press liquid out of tofu: place in a flat-bottomed sieve, put a plate on top and weight it down w/ something heavy-- after about an hour you'll probably have about 1/4- 1/2 cup of liquid pressed out.
  • Chop tofu, not too small-- I use an wire egg slicer.
  • Combine tofu, celery& onion.
  • Add mayo, curry, lemon juice, and salt&pepper.
  • Gently mix.
  • Can use immediately but will be more flavorful if left in refridge for several hours to overnight.
  • Great as a sandwich filling (similar to egg salad) or as a dip for vege crudites.
  • Enjoy!
