Curried Tofu Salad

Jump to Recipe

This Curried Tofu Salad is easy to make and tastes great by itself, on a bed of lettuce, or in a sandwich.

Curried Tofu Salad birds eye view.

I have made a few tofu salads on Create Mindfully, probably because I just love tofu so much. First, there was the Tofu Salad that is like a traditional egg salad.

Then, there was the Tarragon Tofu Salad with crunchy cashews and celery. I have also made a Vegan Curry Salad using soy curls, which provide a texture similar to chicken. In that recipe I included apple, celery, and roasted cashews, so if you prefer some of those flavors, you could mix and match with this recipe.

As I have said quite a few times before, I love to challenge myself in the kitchen by only using ingredients on hand. This Curried Tofu Salad was the result of what I had on hand.

In this case that might be a good thing since I didn’t want a copycat recipe of my Vegan Curry Salad, which I might have been tempted to do, since I love the ingredients in it. Here, I swapped out the celery for carrots, and included peanuts instead of roasted cashews. I just had to include apple again because of its sweet, tart flavor.

It’s too bad that tofu salads are not more photogenic, because they sure are delicious! I figure that even if I would have spread it on some bread, it would still look like a big mushy mess.

Oh well, you’ll just have to trust me on how good it is.

      I go through the same thing! I really love tofu, but I meet many people who do not. I think if they just saw it as a blank canvas that can take on whatever flavors you introduce to it, they would enjoy it.

    Main ingredients, each separately and all together, it’s a bunch of vitamins. And just delicious. But vegan Mayo is what? Yogurt, sour cream?
