Each Tuesday I will share an easy, nutritious recipe so you can join me in the home-cooked self-care.   

Tofu Salad

adapted from The Gorgeously Green Diet: How to Live Lean and Green by Sophie Uliano

Serves 4

MARINADE:

4 Tbsp toasted sesame oil {this is reason enough to love this recipe!}

5 Tbsp cider vinegar {I used rice wine instead}

1 Tbsp agave {or honey}

3 Tbsp soy sauce {I used low sodium}

2 cloves minced garlic

1 tsp minced fresh ginger

1 pound extra firm organic tofu {drain really well}

1 carrot cut into match sticks {I chopped in the Cuisinart}

1 red bell pepper chopped {Mrs. Lazy-pants tossed this in the Cuisinart too}

2 scallions minced

TOPPING:

crushed peanuts

chopped cilantro

Serve as a dip with crackers.

No photos today. This salad is not pretty. I couldn’t even find a suitable photo on the web. It’s ugly food, but it tastes really good.
