Description

Rich and flavorful, this Oven Roasted Tofu Chicken Salad is a crowd-pleaser. Slow roasting the tofu gives it a rich and sweet flavor that's firm but tender.

Ingredients
    Creamy Tofu Salad
  • 2 cup Oven Roasted Tofu, diced
  • 1/2 cup Cashew Sour Cream (link below)
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • Oven Roasted Tofu
  • 2 packages extra firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Bragg's Liquid Aminos
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp thyme or oregano
Instructions
    Creamy Tofu Salad
  1. In a medium bowl, combine tofu, Cashew Sour Cream, and celery.  

  2. Serve with sliced bread, pita, or a bed of lettuce.

    I also ate it with wheat tortillas (yum!) and made lettuce wraps with it. The combinations are endless!
  3. Oven Roasted Tofu
  4. Drain tofu and press between tea towels to remove excess liquid. Let it press for 20 to 30 minutes.

  5. Pour off the liquid and cut the tofu into 3/4-inch-thick slices.

  6. Put the slices in a shallow dish for marinating.

  7. Whisk together vinegar, liquid aminos, water, mustard, and herbs. Pour mixture over the tofu slices and let it marinate for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350⁰F.
  9. Place parchment paper on a large baking sheet. Remove tofu from the marinade and place on the baking sheet.

  10. Bake for 1 hour or until lightly browned.
