Your regular lunch wrap just got an upgrade. Tangy, sweet and fresh curry tofu salad hits all the right spots, and only gets better as it sits in the fridge waiting for lunch time.
Baked tofu, creamy curry dressing, shredded carrots, cilantro and green onion combine for this tasty curry tofu salad, wrapped up in a tortilla with spinach, red onion, and some extra carrots! The makeover your chicken salad has been waiting for.
I know I am the odd man out here, but I don’t love grapes/raisins/nuts or anything of the like in my “chicken” salads. If you do, go for it! Jazz it up with any fun toppings you desire. For something a little lighter, eat this salad straight up or on a salad. I love spice, so I add sriracha to kick up the heat!
I know I say it all the time, but this recipe is seriously easy! The hardest part is finding the patience to let your tofu cool and let the flavors meld in the fridge. I love to make salads like this ahead of time (when I can remember), especially days where I know I will be in a time crunch and want to be able to grab something healthy from the fridge!
