Salmon Salad with Tofu Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by es123

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 oz soft tofu
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper
Dash of hot sauce
1/2 cup diced celery stalks
1/2 cup diced red onion
7 oz canned salmon

Steps:

  • Cream together the tofu, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and hot sauce until fairly smooth, and set aside. In a medium bowl combine the celery, onion and salmon. Gently mix in the tofu mixture. Adjust seasoning. Serve on whole wheat bread or inside a pita.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tofu. For this recipe, it's best to use extra-firm tofu. This type of tofu has a firm texture that will hold up well in the salad.
  • Press the tofu. Pressing the tofu helps to remove excess moisture, which will result in a more flavorful and firm salad.
  • Flake the tofu. Use a fork or your fingers to flake the tofu into small pieces. This will help it to absorb the dressing and other ingredients in the salad.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including cucumber, red onion, and celery. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers, or tomatoes.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.

Conclusion:

This tofu salmon salad is a healthy and delicious meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, and it's low in calories and carbohydrates.
