Ready In
- Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, chutney, curry powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in tofu, celery, grapes, scallions and walnuts.
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- We prefer water-packed tofu from the refrigerated section of the supermarket. Crumbling it into uneven pieces creates more surface area, improving the texture and avoiding the blocky look that turns many people away.

Delicious!
I've been making this tofu salad for the past couple years and never tire of it. It's my go-to when I want to cut back for a few days and enjoy a lite lunch. I find it well balanced, and not too sweet.
Pros: Healthy, low-calorie

Delicious, easy and nutritious
Fabulous on mixed salad greens, arugula and on bread as a sandwich. Everyone I shared it with loved it. I also like that it was easy to prepare.
Pros: Easy to prepare,
Cons: None

Easily Adaptable to the Tastebuds!
I left out the celery, chutney, and grapes. You can get the eggless tofu salad at the market, and this was a nice 'make at home' version with a little spin on it. Keep the grapes and nuts for snacks between meals. Topping mine with a fresh tomato and it tastes great!
Pros: Quick preparation

WAY too sweet
I had such high hopes for this recipe but it turned out just WAY too sweet. I don't know if I used the wrong kind of mango chutney or what but this was almost inedible it was so sweet. I ended up having to add extra tofu, yogurt and curry to try to balance it out. After adding those extras it was good enough to eat, but still not great. Definitely will not make this again.
Pros: Simple
Cons: Too sweet

This was so delicious! I wasn't sure how it'd turn out and was simply caught by surprised upon my first taste. I did leave out the celery, though, as I am not a fan and substituted walnuts for pecans.

Spicy, sweet, crunchy, & fresh: I was surprised at how much i enjoyed this dish! I dried the tofu between paper towels on 2 plates in the refrigerator for about a half hour first (i just don't like wet tofu texture), then cubed it (out of habit) & mixed up the rest of the ingredients in the meantime. Served this over a spring mix of salad greens for a lovely dinner. Even better the next day - so a perfect make ahead dish (just add the walnuts before serving).

This was amazing and so quick and easy to make!! The grapes add such a wonderful sweetness to the spicy tofu. The celery and walnuts add a perfect crunch to give it some texture.
