Here’s a versatile little salad to start your week off on the right foot. Curry Tofu Salad! It’s made with all kinds of deliciousness, while being vegan and gluten-free adaptable. Serve it in a wrap, or spooned over avocado or mounded over greens, or all three, for three different lunches!

Apples, cashews and celery give it good crunchy texture, cilantro and curry powder give it flavor, vegan mayo adds a delicious creaminess while golden raisins give it sweetness. The tofu is seared, holding its shape well, so it’s not mushy.  And it is this texture of the tofu, in my opinion, that really makes this recipe stand out.

All in all, a delicious combination of textures and flavors.

Wrap it up, in a whole wheat tortilla, or in an avocado… equally as good!

The avocado adds a little more richness as well.

Or if opting for fewer calories, serve it over a bowl of baby spinach or your favorite greens.

My new favorite… Sunflower sprouts, add nutty flavor and a boost of nutrients.

  1. This is a really great recipe. Nice flavour combinations good balance. I added a bit more mayo (but that was entirely personal preference). Reminds me of a wrap Whole Foods used to offer. Can see lots of uses for this beyond wraps too. Well Done!






  2. My husband actually picked this one out and made it for us. We loved it! He actually said the tofu was good and he’s willing to eat more of it! We’re trying to eat more plant based meals so this one was perfect!






  3. Perfectly balanced flavours and consistency. I made it with the suggested alternates of flat leaf parsley and scallions. It was absolutely delicious. Hubby & I were “fighting” over it. I can see myself making this salad once a week. Thank you soooo much!!!






  4. Loved this one! So easy to prepare and so flavorful! It reminds me of a Sri Lankan omelet – egg beaten with curry powder, salt, onions, and chilies, then fried. This tastes just like that! I omitted the celery, because yuck, and it’s totally good without it! Will definitely make again. Thank you!!!






  5. Yummy! I followed the recipe except for adding 1 chopped red pepper. It requires lots of chopping, but the result makes this worth it! Thank you for this recipe. My husband loved it and said “it’s a keeper!”

  6. This is the first of the Feasting at Home recipes I’ve tried, and I’m so happy I stumbled onto this site. You have approachable recipe ideas for the busy home cook, and if the others are as good as this one- yay!! I served the tofu curry salad over mixed greens with green onions as a garnish (I love green onions). It was super quick, easy to make, and a hit! Highly recommend!






  7. This curry tofu salad recipe is AMAZING! So flavorful and easy to prepare. I have to say following your instructions on how to cook the tofu resulted in the crispiest best tofu I have ever made in my life. Thank you for the great recipes.

    PS I am a different Heather than the one who reviewed below in July 🙂






    1. Awww thanks Heather! Appreciate this and so happy you like the recipe- I like this one too!

  8. This is an instant favorite and it will be in rotation! Thank you for creating such vibrant and flavorful recipes. It makes eating such a joy! I have tried several of your recipes and have loved them all.






  9. I’ve been looking for something different to make for dinner and oh wow, I’m glad I stumbled across your Curry Tofu Salad its such a great recipe. It totally deserves 5 stars. A definite keeper. I’ll be making it again soon.






  10. I’m so happy to have discovered your site, every recipe I’ve tried is amazing, and this is no exception. As far as I’m concerned, Sylvia can do no wrong – if you’re looking to nourish your body with delicious, nutrient-dense food, look no further. Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world : )
