Tofuna Salad

Even though Autumn is here, we had a few warm days here in NJ, and I felt salad was in order. Like I said on Tuesday, I’ve added small amounts of soy back into my diet and I’ve been okay with it. I came across a tofuna salad recipe that looked really good, so I made it – with my own alterations, of course. Dennis and I both really loved it, so  it will definitely be back in my meal rotation.





Tofuna Salad
serves 2-4
1 container firm organic tofu, frozen
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon tamari
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 celery stalks, diced
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon kelp
1 teaspoon dried dill
1.  Remove tofu from freezer. Allow to thaw. Squeeze the water out of it.
2.  Crumble tofu, add remaining ingredients and mix. Chill for a few hours so tofu can absorb the flavors. Season to taste.
3.  Serve as a salad or on sandwiches.

Feel free to add or subtract ingredients to your own liking!

Raw Mock Tuna Salad


When Dennis took his first bite of this dish, he thought, “I can live on this.” This recipe is from RAWvolution by Matt Amsden. The “tuna” is sunflower seeds that have been soaked for a while and then mixed with celery and scallions. Dulse flakes (I actually used kelp) are added to give it a little bit of a fishy flavor. The creamy mayo is made with coconut water, lemon juice, mustard and cashews. The recipe says to mix everything together in a bowl, but I like the sunflower seeds to be macerated, so I put it all in a food processor for a minute or two.

Raw foods are really delicious and healthy. They can bring you more energy, detox your body and help you lose weight. Now that the weather has turned warm, I’m going to be making a lot more raw foods. I just got a dehydrator, and I’m looking forward to experimenting with it. Stay tuned for more raw!
