This savory Tarragon Tofu Salad is packed with flavor. Eat it in a sandwich or on a bed of lettuce.

This Tarragon Tofu Salad was inspired by a recipe I found in a Wild Oats flyer years ago before Whole Foods bought it. The original recipe had chicken and regular mayonnaise. I veganized it and changed the ingredient amounts.

Tarragon adds a wonderful anise scent and flavor. In some recipes you can use either fresh or dried herbs. This is not one of them. Fresh is best.

Celery and cashews add crunch, and lemon juice and zest add brightness.

I recently went on vacation and took this with. The roasted cashews stayed crunchy for quite a few days.

How to Make This Recipe

Mix vegan mayo, mustard powder, mustard seeds, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt and pepper. Mix well.

Slice tofu into cubes (or mash) and add to the dressing.

Add cashew pieces, chopped celery, red onion, and tarragon. Eat as is, on a bed of lettuce, or in a sandwich.

If you let this sit overnight, the flavors will meld and taste even better the next day.
