Steve's Sounds Bad But Tastes Good Tofu Salad

 

 

 

Comments:

 

 

 

This takes about 15 minutes to make, most of which is prep time. This is

one of those dishes that is never exactly the same each time. It invites

experimentation to suit to your taste.

 

 

 

This sounds 'yucky' but even my kids like it. Personally, I like it best

with lettuce and tomato on a delicate 7 grain bread.

 

.. mmmm!

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

1 pound (block) soft tofu*

 

*you can experiment with flavored of seasoned tofu also

 

 

 

One medium red onion

 

2 stalks celery

 

2 or 3 carrots

 

Bunch fresh cilantro

 

Mayonnaise

 

Mustard

 

Sour Cream

 

Yogurt

 

salt, pepper

 

 

 

By Hand: Chop onion and celery very finely. Grate carrots then chop with

rest of vegetables. Mince cilantro and add to chopped vegetable mix. In a

bowl, separately crush tofu brick with a fork until mashed evenly. Add

vegetable mix to the bowl. Add mayonnaise and/or mustard to taste. (As a

lower fat alternative (or taste alternative) use sour cream, or yogurt

instead of mayonnaise). Mix together completely. Add pepper and salt to

taste.

 

 

 

By Technology: Put onion, celery and carrots in to food processor. Process

until processed. Add cilantro and process more. Then add tofu and

process. This will make it anywhere from chunky to creamy depending on how

long you process. Add mayonnaise and mustard salt and pepper to taste.

 

 

 

Enjoy as a stand alone dip, as a spread on crackers, as a topping on a

salad, or as a sandwich spread on bread. Bon appetite.

Welcome Steve!! I'm new to this board too, but it's proving to be a

fun, responsive group and I like it! Your recipe sounds delish and

simple enough to prepare, especially with the added fresh cilantro.

Thanks for sharing, Stephie

cilantro would be a nice touch. My boys, for whatever reason, don't have a

taste for it, so it's left out of the posted recipe...

however, like all recipes, it's open to personal interpretation.

I like it, but sometimes I taste too much in some recipes. it can be powerful so

I take it easy with it, and all is well.

Your recipe sounds yummy! I like to freeze my tofu first, then make

tofua or mock egg salad (tumeric) etc. I add cuke, celery, finely

shredded carrots etc....now I need to go make some for tomorrow (it's

better when it melds overnight!)

 

Cilantro is definitely an acquired taste. I remember the first time I

tried fresh cilantro, I HATED it, but it's grown on me over the years.
