Tofu Curry Salad Sandwich

This is a tasty little sandwich that we like to eat on occasion. It's inexpensive, quick and yummy, so what's not to like?




Tofu Curry Salad Sandwich
Ingredients:

1 pkg. extra-firm tofu, drained
3/4 cup Vegenaise
1 Tbs. curry powder
3 green onions, trimmed and sliced thinly
2 stalks celery, sliced lengthwise and then thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Red leaf lettuce, leaves separated and washed
Good multi grain, whole grain bread

Directions:

Mash the tofu with a fork in a medium mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, except the lettuce and bread, and mix thoroughly. Chill before serving, if you wish, or serve immediately. Spread a nice amount between two slices of bread, add some lettuce to it, and dig in! Nice, fast dinner for a busy night. Feeds five hungry vegans.

  1. Thanks for the reminder on this one. I tend to eat tofu salad for weeks and then forget about it for months. It does make a fabulous quick meal. We also like it over a big green salad. I think you just gave me an idea for lunch tomorrow. Suddenly I am craving tofu salad. ;)

    thanks,
    Alicia

  2. Yes, there's lots of ways to add different ingrendients to tofu to make it an interesting spread. I've also had it on salad and simply rolled up in large lettuce leaves for a snack. I'll post other variations at later dates. Glad you liked the reminder!

  3. I would love to see some of your other tofu salad recipes! I tend to make only a few variations. You have just inspired me to branch out with this concept and be more bold.

    The first time I made "tofu egg salad" the hubby gave me that look. The one that says "you have to be kidding". One bite and he was hooked. Isn't it odd how tofu gets such a bad rap. It is such a versatile and protein packed food.

  4. Alicia, I'm glad to get you inspired. I love tofu and its versatility. Today is my husband's birthday, and we just came back from lunch where the owner makes so many tofu wonders from scratch. He has promised to teach me how to prepare some of them, and I will pass them on.

    S.V., Thanks for the compliment!
