Tofu Salad Sandwich Filling

 

Recipe By :This Can't be Tofu! by Deborah Madison, page 42

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

1 carton firm tofu

1 hard-boiled eggs -- mashed (1 to 2), optional

1/4 cup celery -- finely diced

1/4 cup white onion or scallion -- finely diced

1/4 cup parsley -- finely chopped

3 tablespoons marjoram or dill or tarragon -- chopped

2 lovage leaves -- minced

1/3 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons mustard

2 tablespoons capers -- rinsed

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1 dash lemon juice or white wine vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Sandwich the salad between the bread of your choice - white, wheat, or an

interesting herb or olive bread - with several peppery watercress or arugula

leaves.

 

Drain the tofu, place it in a clean kitchen towel, grab the corners, and twist

firmly to force out the water so that it won't dilute the dressing. Put the

tofu in a bowl with the eggs, if using.

 

Add the remaining ingredients and work together with a fork. Taste and adjust

the seasonings, if necessary, so that they're bright and lively.

 

Author's note - Tofu " egg " salad has been around at least since the seventies.

The texture is fine; what it needs is plenty of seasonings. Fresh herbs

especially marjoram and lovage, should you have some in your garden, are ideal.

Unless you are avoiding eggs, there is no reason why you can't add one or more

to the salad.
