minutesWhile all of our recipes combine Delicious with Cancer-Kicking!, I particularly love this household fave because it packs an anti-inflammatory wallop in a record time! The power ingredient here is, well, it’s in the title, so yeah, it’s… CURRY! Curry isn’t one spice – it’s a blend of anticancer weapons, including turmeric, coriander, and chili powder. Other common antioxidants you might find in the mix: cumin, fenugreek, ginger, black pepper, curry leaves, mustard and fennel seeds. Studies show that regular curry consumption can lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, lower blood sugar levels, improve brain health, and induce satiety so you eat fewer calories.
Turn this salad into a whole grain wrap or pita stuffed with sprouts, lettuce, avocado and tomato; scoop it into an avocado half; or serve it atop a bed of arugula, kale or any of your friendly leafy greens. Fair warning: sometimes I taste test straight from the mixing bowl and – poof! – the whole thing vanishes. 🤔

Ingredients
8 oz organic extra firm tofu, cut into ½-inch cubes
optional oil spray (for the pan)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 cup diced apple
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup cashews, halves and pieces
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or Italian parsley
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 chopped green onion
1 tbsp curry powder
2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
1 tbsp agave
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Press the water out of the tofu with a paper towel. Cut it into small cubes and blot one more time with a dry paper towel. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the tofu.
- In a non-stick skillet on medium/high heat, spray the oil (if using). Sear on all sides until golden. Be sure to turn the cubes of tofu frequently. Once the pieces are golden brown, set the pan aside.
- In a bowl, add apple, celery, cashews, raisins, onions, and cilantro. Stir.
- Next, add curry spice, mayo, agave, and vinegar. Stir.
- Taste, season with salt and pepper – you could add cayenne pepper if you want to make it spicy.
- Add the tofu cubes, stir and serve!
