This Curried Tofu Salad is sweet and savory. It's quick and easy to make, and tastes great by itself or in a sandwich.

This Curried Tofu Salad is one of the easiest recipes you can make and one of the tastiest, in my opinion. I love the contrast of sweet and savory flavors, and the different textures from crunchy peanuts to chewy cranberries to soft tofu.

This gluten-free tofu salad is perfect for a brown bag lunch or potluck. Put in a wrap for easy transport.

My Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich and my Green Goddess Sandwich are also great for a quick lunch.
