Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened dairy free plain yogurt (I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconutmilk Yogurt Alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons homemade vegan mayo or your favorite store-bought vegan mayo
  • 1 tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ½ teaspoons mild yellow curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1 package (14-16 oz) firm or extra firm tofu drained and pressed
  • 1 rib celery diced
  • 1 sweet apple cored, and diced
  • 2 green onions diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the yogurt, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, curry powder, turmeric, salt and pepper. 
  • With your clean hands, crumble the pressed firm tofu into the same bowl. Don't be perfect - leave some pieces bigger than others and crumble some pieces smaller. This will help give the salad extra texture.
  • Add the chopped celery, apple, green onion, and parsley to the tofu. 
  • Mix well until everything is well covered in the creamy curry dressing.
  • You can enjoy this right way or store it in the fridge to let the flavors come together even more. 

Notes

*To press tofu, place a clean dish towel (or paper towels) on a plate. Place the block of tofu on the dish towel and cover the tofu with another clean dish towel and then another plate. On the top plate, place some heavy cans or bags of dried beans to press it down. Press for about 20 minutes.
