Season the inside of the sweet potato with about half a teaspoon each of cumin, pepper, and salt, and mash the spices into the flesh.

Top the sweet potato with rinsed and drained black beans, thawed corn, fresh cilantro, spoonfuls of salsa, and a lime wedge along with some guacamole.

For the everything veggie bagel, spread hummus on one side and vegan mayo on the other side of the bagel.

Layer cucumber, red onion, and arugula on the bagel, then put the bagel together and cut it in half for easier eating.

Mix all the ingredients for the salad together until well combined.

Serve the Waldorf tofu salad on crackers, a bed of lettuce, or as a sandwich with bread and lettuce to prevent sogginess.
