Curried Tofu "Eggless" Salad
Makes 4 servings
1/2 pound extra-firm tofu
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 celery rib, very finely diced
1 small carrot, grated
1 1/2 tablespoons raisins
1 scallion, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Generous seasoning of freshly ground black pepper
To get rid of the excess moisture in tofu, gather it into a linen or cotton kitchen towel and twist tofu over the sink. Drop tofu into a medium-size bowl. Mash it with a fork until its texture is fine, resembling coarse bread crumbs.
Stir in all remaining ingredients. Cover and chill at least 1 hour so the flavors can develop.
Use as a sandwich spread. Particularly good on toasted bread.
