Tofu salad
Want to get more soy into your diet? Try this nice, cool Tofu Salad.
It’s a good source of protein and surprisingly hearty. Good, too, if you’re someone who’s trying to avoid red meat.
The ingredients can be found at Japanese markets and well-stocked Asian stores.
Serve the salad with glasses of mint tea for a refreshing meal.
Blend together sesame seeds, mayonnaise, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, mirin and water until smooth. Set aside in refrigerator.
Drain tofu and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into cubes and place in medium bowl. Arrange tomato slices, cucumber slices and sprouts on top.
Pour dressing over and garnish with bonito flakes and seaweed.
