Curry tofu egg-less salad
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.
