Where Did Tofu Salad Come From?
How Is Tofu Salad Made?
Tofu Salad is simply the right combination of fresh Bridge tofu, chopped carrots, celery, onions, Tahini, Shoyu, Umeboshi Vinegar, and sea salt.
Tahini is a ground sesame seed paste. Sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium and iron.
Shoyu is soy sauce. A mixed fermentation of soybeans, whole wheat, and koji (Aspergillus oryzae). Its popular counterpart, Tamari, is simply soy sauce without wheat.
Umeboshi vinegar is a type of vinegar derived from Umeboshi plums. The sweet umeboshi plum, a close relative of the apricot, is a salty additive and is helpful in neutralizing acidic flavors and conditions.
Carrots; are vegetables popular with rabbits.

The Bridge Story
More than twenty-five years ago, a community began to form in Middletown based in part around the Good Harvest Food Cooperative. Local folks came to study macrobiotic cooking and philosophy with two of the founders of The Bridge, William and Joan Spear. Shortly thereafter, Roberto Marrocchessi arrived from Italy by way of Boston and Cleveland with a very essential skill: how to make tofu. Though many more folks spent time with us along the way working and learning, like Michio and Aveline Kushi, a few of us chose to stay and make tofu our livelihood.
Natural foods have become an integral part of the American food shoppers' experience everywhere, and you, the consumer, are the real reason for that. You will never know how much we appreciate our customers' role in the success of The Bridge over the last quarter century. So thank you to everyone—vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, chef, meat eater looking for an alternative, and anyone else who put our tofu or seitan into their shopping carts!
We'd love to hear from you. Click below to learn more about us and share your story with us!
What Customers Are Saying About Our Tofu
The Bridge isn't a natural market, but... 25 years making tofu, you know they do it right!
We are lucky to have a local producer of great tofu - as well as seitan and tofu salad. A lot of healthy restaurants around here use bridge tofu exclusively and recently their tofu has been showing up in local Whole Foods.

Their Organic Tofu Salad is absolutely delicious.
I have it for lunch or dinner, more than a few times a week. I serve it on bread, roll, or toast with lettuce and tomato. It's so good that you can eat it alone, or atop a salad. I'm so addicted. It would also be perfect as a dip for apps.

Bridge tofu should be presented on a golden pedestal, perhaps with a little velvet curtain.
It deserves more than this dry description. All tofu is colorless blobs, and yet there is no equal.
