TOFU CURRY SALAD RECIPE - (4.9/5)



Tofu Curry Salad Recipe - (4.9/5) image

Provided by á-29897

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 packages tofu, extra firm, diced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch green onions (substitute one small onion if necessary)
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
chopped cilantro in whatever amount you like and have available
1/2 cup raisins
2 about 2 oz slivered almonds
1 small "toe" of fresh ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
juice of 1/2 large lemon
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
4 tsp curry powder
1 tsp sugar
a dash of Cayenne
a dash of white pepper
several cranks of fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1.In a large saucepan over med to med-high heat, sauté tofu (in a bit of olive oil, if you'd like) until browned and firmed. Pour off excess liquid as needed (or do that squeeze-the-tofu-brick-between-two-plates-with-something-heavy-on-top trick before cooking). Set aside to cool. 2.In a separate bowl, blend the dressing ingredients. Taste, and adjust seasonings to your liking. 3.Add the tofu and the rest of the ingredients. 4.Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape and not crumble when you mix it with the other ingredients.
  • Press the tofu before using. This will help remove excess water from the tofu and make it more flavorful.
  • Cube the tofu into small pieces. This will help the tofu absorb the flavors of the dressing more easily.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Tofu curry salad is a healthy, flavorful, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover tofu and vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. With its creamy dressing and variety of flavors, tofu curry salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
