Curry tofu egg-less salad

This curry tofu egg-less salad is a versatile dish perfect for potlucks or a healthy lunch. Inspired by New Year's resolutions, the salad looks and tastes like egg salad. It can be served on bread with lettuce for a classic "egg" salad sandwich. You can also serve it wrapped in lettuce for a lighter, healthier option.

 

Servings: 4

Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu, drained
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (use Vegenaise or Just Mayo for example; it's OK to use less)
  • 1/3 cup sweet relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins
  • 2 tablespoon curry powder
  • Dash paprika for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Remove the tofu from its container and cover it with paper towels. 
  2. Place a weight on top to squeeze excess water out for several minutes. 
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, mash the tofu with a fork. 
  4. Add remaining ingredients and stir together until well combined. 
  5. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if desired. 
  6. Serve on bread with lettuce for an "egg" salad sandwich, or spread on crackers or lettuce cups as hors d'oeuvres.
