Temple Tofu

This is an amazingly good and easy dish. Don't be scared of Tofu!! After draining it, cut into thirds and press it dry with paper towels or a kitchen towel. Easy, healthy and delicious!

2 lbs. extra firm tofu, drained and pressed dry
4 ribs celery, diced
1 small red pepper (or orange or yellow)
3 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
1 C. roasted salted cashews
1 C. unsweetened coconut
1/2 C. chopped dried mango (use scissors)

Dressing

1 1/2 C. Vegenaise (or Mayo)
1 C. Major Grey's Mango Chutney (find this in the bbq sauce and ketchup aisle)
3 tbl. fresh squeezed lemon juice

Cube tofu into 1/2 inch chunks and place in large mixing bowl.

Add celery, pepper, onions, cashews, coconut, mango and toss.

Whisk dressing ingredients together and pour over salad. Toss to blend.

Enjoy!!
