Cohousing-L Mailing List: Joani's Killer Tofu Salad

[Joani Blank (joani]

I didn't come up with this name.  The person who asked that I post 
the recipe on the listserve attended one of the Northern California 
cohousing bus tours that I led (and I made the tofu salad 
too).  Casey (was that Casey Morrigan from Two-Acre Wood?) is 
responsible for the name.

Anyhow, so you don't have to look it up  (I've enhanced the recipe a 
bit from what was up there before):

Joani's Killer Tofu Salad

Firm Tofu (I get it fresh for $.15 a block--about $.50 a pound--in 
Oakland's Chinatown two blocks from my front door!) Mash it up with a 
potato masher or squish it up with your freshly washed hands--more 
fun. Then squeeze it and discard any water that collects in the bowl
Mayonnaise (Vegenaise if you want it to be vegan)
Finely chopped onion or green onion (better for both flavor and color).
Bragg's Amino Acids--looks like soy sauce, tastes much better (the 
secret ingredient for flavor)

You can add chopped parsley or cilantro or extra chopped tops of 
green onions for color and a little extra flavor. You could also put 
chopped celery in it
for more crunch and bulk.

Enjoy,
