Makes

4 servings

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
• 3 teaspoons brown mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 cup celery (diced)
• 1 tablespoon onion (diced)
• 1/2 green pepper (seeded and diced)
• 1 tablespoon parsley (minced)

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. Prepare tofu by draining the water from the package and placing tofu between two plates. Put a heavy object on top and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the water that collects on the bottom plate every few minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and soy sauce.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tofu, celery, onion, pepper, and parley; stir in the mayonnaise mixture and toss gently to coat.
5. Refrigerate covered until the flavors are blended -- at least one hour.
6. Use as a sandwich filling or on top of whole grain crackers.
