  • 3/4 teaspoon plain unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

  • 3 tablespoons chopped yellow onion
  • 3 tablespoons raisins
  • 3 tablespoons pistachios

  1. In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine 5 Tablespoons vegan mayo, 1 Tablespoon curry powder, 3/4 teaspoon non-dairy milk, and 1 teaspoon maple syrup until smooth.
  2. Add the 1/2 inch cubed tofu, 1/2 cup sliced celery, 1/2 cup grated carrot, 3 Tablespoons chopped yellow onion, 3 Tablespoons raisins, and 3 Tablespoons pistachios to the mixing bowl. Gently stir with a spoon to combine, being careful not to break up the tofu too much.
  3. Stir in a generous pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra spice if desired.

Notes

- For the best flavor, allow the curried tofu salad to chill for at least 2-3 hours, or even overnight. This gives the spices time to infuse fully.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can mash some of the tofu before mixing, but be careful not to overmix.
- Don't skimp on fresh vegetables. Crispy celery and sweet grated carrots add essential crunch and color.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper with the salt and black pepper.
