We all need a healthy-ish salad recipe right? Healthy-ish because of the garlic mayo, which is totally necessary by the way. This salad is basically a vegan coleslaw with crispy smoked tofu. Simple? Yes. Delicious? Yes. Ready in under 30 minutes? Yes!

It’s made up of white and red cabbage, red onion, cucumber and carrot which are the perfect crunchy, sweet and nutrient filled combination. The crispy smoked tofu is added as a great source of protein. I could eat a whole bowl of it on its own, it’s that good. If you can’t get your hands on smoked tofu, plain tofu will work too. It is then coated in plenty of garlic mayo, because garlic and vegan mayo are a match made in vegan sauce heaven. If mayo isn’t your thing, you can top it with any of your favourite salad dressings.

This salad is versatile so use it as a base or a side salad or eat as a main. I’ve eaten it for 4 days in a row now, as a side and a main and I’m still not bored of it. And I’m hopeful you’ll love it too.

Ingredients

• 1 block/225g extra firm smoked tofu
• 1 tbsp cornflour
• 2 cups shredded red cabbage
• 2 cups shredded white cabbage
• 2 carrots
• 1 red onion
• 1/2 a cucumber
• 1 tsp poppy seeds
• 1/2 cup vegan mayo
• Squeeze of lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F. If you are not using extra firm tofu, drain as much water out of the tofu first. Cut into square sized pieces, about 16 pieces. Then dry with a paper towel and coat evenly in the corn flour and place on a baking tray. Place in the oven for 15-20 mins until crispy and golden.

Shred the cabbage, carrots, onion and cucumber. You can do this by thinly slicing them or by grating them. Add the poppy seeds and give this a good mix.

Mince the garlic and add to a small bowl with the mayo, lemon juice and pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the crispy tofu and mayo and mix again, until it is all coated. If you are making this ahead of time, leave out the mayo and put this on before serving.
