I am dropping by really quick to share with you a rockin' tofu salad I made yesterday. Since I am trying to cut back on my meat eating consumption, I decided it was time to introduce tofu into my cooking menu. I have eaten tofu before, but this was the first time I successfully cooked it!! *note the highlighted word* I will spare you the details of my last cooking experience with tofu... but let's just say it didn't turn out too good and the tofu ended up in the trash :(
This time around was a lot better, probably because I did some research on how to cook tofu!
I learned that even after draining the water from the container, you have to squeeze the excess water the tofu retains. Check out my method, bahaha!!
Grilled Tofu, Apple Slices, Spinach, & toasted (close to burnt ;) Honey Wheat Flatouts
The dressing complimented this salad wonderfully:
- 1tsp of Honey Mustard
- 2 tbsp of Balsamic Vinaigrette
Ooo and I kept my tofu kick going with today's scrumptious lunch!!
Honey Wheat Flatout, Baked Tofu, Spinach, Honey Mustard, and Pepperjack Cheese
Talk to me!!
Have you cooked Tofu before?
If you are familiar with cooking Tofu got any recipes I should try?
I have never tried tofu, I have no idea what it tastes like, but I really liked the method of draining it lmao!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind tofu. It isn't one of my favorites but I try to have it about one every couple of weeks. Sometimes it's a success and sometimes I just keep chewing because I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE tofu!! But I'm weird, because my favorite way to eat it is plain :) I love it thrown into a big salad!! That wrap looks delish though, I love the sauce just dripping out of it! Hope you're having a great Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously the best thing ever... I've made it so many times!

ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic! I usually try to keep soy to a minimum in my diet (since its in EVERYTHING), but I do allow a little tofu every now and again (like last night!). I have actually never made it at home before!!
ReplyDeleteI am not even going to lie...tofu intimidates me!!
ReplyDeleteoh that looks sooooo good. unfortunately Bill does not like tofu so i do not make it very often. i am sorry to say my fav is just with some BBQ sauce!

I have never cooked with tofu, so sad to say.
