BBQ Tofu Salad



INGREDIENTS

  • Extra Firm Tofu (Pressed and Cubed)
  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Corn
  • Tomatos
  • Carrots
  • BBQ Sauce (I use Stubb's)
  • Favorite Ranch Dressing


DIRECTIONS

  1. Start by preparing the tofu:
    • Place block of extra-firm tofu on a plate with a few paper towels both underneath and on top of the tofu.
    • Place something heavy on top of the tofu to press all of the water out (I use a big cooking pot with some water).
    • Let stand for 30 minutes.
    • Cut tofu into cube sizes and toss with some BBQ sauce (I do this in a big bowl to make sure every part is coated).
    • You may add as much or as little BBQ sauce as you want.
    • Place in a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes, flipping half way for equal cooking on all sides.
  1. To build your salad, start with Romaine Lettuce as a base.
  2. Top with Corn, Tomato, Carrots and BBQ Sauce.
  3. Add Ranch dressing and that's it!
