Vegetable & Baked Tofu Salad

Lunches are sometimes a struggle for me to come up with. I’m usually not one for leftovers (unless it’s the cashew mac) but I do like to throw together sandwiches. However, those can get boring, so I came up with this veggie-cashew-tofu salad that is fabulous on bread, crackers or in a wrap. I love the combination of the soft tofu and crunchy cashews; to me, that makes an ideal salad. With a little bit of prep,  you’ll have a tasty, protein-filled lunch option for the whole week.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C vegan mayo (I recently discovered Just Mayo. It’s fantastic)
2 tsp Dijon
1 Tbs nutritional yeast
1 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp kelp powder
4 green onion, sliced
1 carrot, grated
2 celery stalks, sliced or chopped
1/2 small cucumber, diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 C parsley, chopped
1/2 C cashews or almonds, coarsely chopped
8-oz pkg. baked tofu, Italian seasoning flavor, diced
The rest
Bread slices, wraps or crackers
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices

DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl, combine everything (but the tofu) and thoroughly blend. Fold in the diced tofu. Serve on large flax crackers for a snack, or pile onto some bread or a wrap for a healthy lunch. Enjoy!
