Hot tea

This is a new approach to tofu and a perfect summer salad. It's sort of like egg salad, but more flavorful. Best, it is another use for the Major Gray's chutney that we used in the Curried potato salad with tuna from last week. I always like to have a couple uses for specialized condiments like that so they don't totally clutter up my refrigerator. This is a great summer meal because there is no cooking required and it's INCREDIBLY quick. I think this would be awesome stuffed into pita or in cucumber boats for a different take on the salad.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Celery, grapes, scallions, walnuts, cucumbers
Time: 20 minutes
Make ahead: We enjoyed leftovers for lunch the next day, but I thought it was best room temperature, so fresh mightbe the best option.
Reaction
J: "Tofu-licious."
M: "Perfect summer tofu!"

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
