Curry "Chicken" Tofu Salad
















I used to love a curried chicken salad sandwich before I went veg. This is WAY yum substitute on wheat bread with some sprouts and tomato slices.

* 1 package extra-firm tofu, cubed
* 1 cup plain yogurt
* 2 tablespoons lime juice
* 2 tablespoons curry powder
* 1 cup halved grapes
* 3/4 cup cooked rice (I cooked my rice in Better than Bullion No-Chicken Chicken Bullion this time to make it taste more chicken-saladish, but I’ve made it with regular rice too. Delish either way.)

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook cubed tofu for 3 minutes; drain, and set aside to cool.

In a bowl, blend yogurt with lime juice and curry powder; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, toss together halved grapes, celery, onions, nuts, rice, and tofu.

Add the curry mixture and stir until tofu is evenly coated. Salt & Pepper to taste.

  1. I'll have to try this...usually I make something like this with cold tofu that I've just pressed the water out of. The rice sounds like a good addition (mmm...maybe w/ short grain brown rice, which adds some meaty chewiness). Dried cranberries are good in curried tofu salad too (though not as healthy as fresh grapes, probably).
