Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound extra-firm regular tofu -- rinsed and patted dry

1 cup water

1/4 cup natural soy sauce

1 cup vegan mayonnaise

1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard -- (1 1/2-2)

1/2 cup celery -- finely diced

1/2 cup bell pepper (green or red) -- finely diced

thinly sliced scallions or grated onion

(optional)

 

Oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside. Cut

the tofu into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place in two shallow dishes, large enough

to fit the tofu in a single layer.

 

Combine the water and soy sauce, and pour over the tofu. Let marinate 15 to 30

minutes.

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the tofu from the marinade, and place

in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until a deep, golden brown and the

surface is dry, about 30 minutes.

 

Allow the tofu to cool until it can be easily handled, then slice it into very

thin strips or shreds. Transfer to a bowl with the vegetables, and add thinly

sliced scallions or grated onion, if desired.

 

Stir together the dressing and mustard. Add just enough to the salad to moisten

it to your liking. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Chill before

serving.

NOTES : Author's note: This salad is a great pretender - it has all the

ingredients that make a great “chicken” salad, without the bird! Serve it on a

bed of fresh, crisp greens or as a hearty sandwich filling.
