Curried "Chicken" Salad
1 carton soft or firm tofu, drained
cw: firm/extra firm works best, with the water pressed out
for as long as possible beforehand
2 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 TB peanut oil
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 large lime
3 TB chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 tsp curry powder
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 celery rib, finely diced
1 TB mango chutney
cw: can also add 1 carrot diced, red onion diced, raisins, peanuts
1. Cut the tofu into cubes or strips about 1/3 inch across. Bring 6 cups
water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon (cw: or more...) salt and turn off the heat.
Lower the tofu into the water and let it sit for 2 minutes. Gently tip it into
a wide colander, then rinse under cool water. Shake off the excess
moisture and turn the tofu only a clean kitchen towel to dry.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings,
adding more curry powder or lime juice, if needed, to make it a little
more zesty. Add the tofu and gently toss with a rubber spatula. If
possible chill 20 minutes or more. (cw: ~2 hours STRONGLY recommended)
The flavors will emerge and mellow as the salad stands.

my favorite super quick chicken dish is jasmine rice and plain sauteed chicken then i dump some Jade peanut sauce on it. You could probably put it on salad instead of rice. But make sure you buy Jade brand, the trader joes brand and a lot of the cheaper brands taste like butt. as far as i know jade is only at williams sonoma, but look it up and see.
