Vegan California Toast Charcuterie Board

California Avocado Smash

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mash until smooth. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Tofu Scramble

1. Using a potato masher or your hands, crumble the tofu into a bowl. Season it with the turmeric and pepper, tossing to coat.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is warmed through and starts to brown, 7 to 10 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and season the tofu with the black salt, stirring to incorporate.

Springtime Charcuterie Board featuring California Avocado

1. Place a bowl of California Avocado Smash near center of board.
2. Add Tofu Scramble, balsamic, capers, bacon bits and cream cheese (topped with bagel seasoning) into separate small bowls and place the bowls in desired locations on the board.
3. Add remaining ingredients to the board around the bowls until the board is covered.

Serving Suggestion: The board can be prepared ahead of time besides the avocado. Since oxidization happens relatively quickly, prepare the avocado mash and thinly sliced avocado right before serving and don’t forget to squeeze a bit of lemon juice on them.

Beverage Pairing: Enjoy with a glass of crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
