This "chicken" salad is made with smoked tofu, vegan mayo, and all my favorite chicken salad ingredients. You can eat it on top of a green salad or inside a pita or whole wheat wrap.
(I was asked to start uploading some photos so here is my first try... sorry if they don't look so great!)
Curried "Chicken" Salad
Ingredients:
-1 package firm smoked tofu
-3/4 cup vegan mayo OR plain soy yogurt
-juice of 2 limes
-1/3 cup chopped cilantro
-2 tsp. curry powder
-2 scallions, thinly sliced
-2 ribs celery, finely diced
-1/2 cup grapes, halved if they are large
-1/3 cup cashews
-cracked pepper, to taste
Method:
Cut the tofu into small cubes. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil, add 1 tsp. salt, and turn off the heat. Lower the tofu into the water and let sit for 2 minutes. Strain the tofu into a colander, then rinse under cool water. Shake off the excess moisture and spread out the cubes onto paper towels to dry.
Combine all remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more lime or pepper if needed. Add the tofu and gently toss. Chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes. The flavors will get even better the next day for leftovers!
