Ingredients:
- 400 g tofu
- 200 g soy mayonnaise
- 2 red bell peppers
- 200 g carrots
- 1 head of garlic
- salt, freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- fresh herbs (dill or parsley) for garnish

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
Start by preparing all the ingredients. Rinse the tofu under cold water to remove excess water and any impurities. Then, grate it using a large grater to achieve a fluffier texture that will easily mix with the other ingredients.

Step 2: Grating the Vegetables
Peel the carrots and also grate them using the large grater. This method will make the salad less bulky and mix evenly. Cut the bell peppers into small cubes; they will add not only a splash of color but also a sweet and crunchy taste.

Step 3: Mixing the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated tofu, grated carrots, and diced bell peppers. Add the soy mayonnaise, lemon juice, crushed garlic (you can adjust the amount of garlic to your preference), and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Gently mix with a spatula, being careful not to crush the tofu too much.

Step 4: Serving
Once the ingredients are well combined, let the salad sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, you can garnish with chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, for an extra touch of freshness.

Serving suggestion: This tofu salad is perfect as a filling for sandwiches or as a side dish for a main meal. You can also enjoy it alongside crackers or toasted bread for a tasty appetizer.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different vegetables, such as cucumbers or green onions, or add sesame seeds for an extra crunch. If you prefer a spicy version, add a little chili sauce or crushed red pepper flakes.

This tofu salad is not only a quick and easy recipe but also a great way to enjoy plant-based proteins in a delicious way. Enjoy your meal!
