Instructions

Cut tofu in half along the long side. Sandwich tofu between clean towels or paper towels and place on a large baking sheet pan. Place a cutting board with something heavy on top and set aside to press out excess water.

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Place mayo, nutritional yeast, Dijon, vinegar, and spices in a large bowl; stir to combine the creamy dressing.

Crumble tofu with your fingers into the bowl with the dressing; using a fork, mash to combine the tofu mixture.

Peel, trim, and coarsely grate carrots; add to the bowl with the tofu mixture.

Trim and small dice celery; add to the bowl.

Trim, seed, and small dice bell peppers; add to the bowl. Stir to combine the tofu salad and set aside.

Preheat oven to broil on high and position rack under the broiler.

Peel and mince garlic; place in a small bowl along with oil and salt. Stir to combine the garlic oil.

Divide bread between two baking sheets and drizzle with garlic oil. Working in batches, place in the oven and broil until golden brown and toasted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, trim and slice cucumbers crosswise into thin rounds.

Separate lettuce into leaves.

To serve, divide toast between plates; top with lettuce, tofu salad, and cucumber slices. Season cucumber with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
