Great use of tofu, but I really didn't care for the curry flavor. Next time I'll leave it out and use cilantro instead of parsley. Thanks for a good start.

I loved this, the herbs are a great change to the more traditional recipes, and the lime juice really 'sings'! Made one tiny change (based on Rita's comment), which was to sub some Jamaican curry paste for the curry powder. This kept it well balanced and flavoursome.

Interesting! I love the idea of tofu on this. I found that the curry and scallions took over in taste. I do enjoy curry but in here it was just OK. My scallions were big so I used one. Used red bell pepper which gave this nice splash of color. Cilantro is my choice when it comes to guacamole. Different and good!
