Balsamic Strawberry Tofu Salad
Comfort zones – defined as a place where you feel safe and at ease, without stress. When is the last time you did something that was outside your comfort zone? Applied for a job, tried a new style of dance, started a conversation with someone that’s a stranger, painted a Bob Ross style painting, helped someone that you didn’t have to, committed to a goal and finish it, tried a new adventure, or even something a simple as trying a new food.
I’ve tried a new food recently and wanted to tell you more about it. It’s called “Toss’ables” – delicious tofu that’s ready to eat in both garlic and herb, and balsamic vinaigrette flavors.
I was contacted to participate in a recipe contest with Toss’ables, and I was quick to reply with a “yes” because I am always game to try something new in the food department. (This post enters me into a recipe contest where I am eligible to win prizes. I did receive samples of Toss’ables too.)
Here’s what I was impressed with about Toss’ables:
- Already seasoned, baked and ready to serve
- They pair perfectly with other dishes like pasta, salad, even pizza
- 14 grams of plant-based protein per 3 ounce serving
Recipes that came with the sample packages included Panzanella Salad, Antipasto Platter, Greek Orzo Salad, Arugula Salad, Tri-Colored Quinoa Salad, and Cobb Salad – find all these recipes on the Nasoya.com website.
I decided to try it with one of my favorite salad styles – a Strawberry Poppyseed Salad. Instead of chicken, I added the Balsamic Toss’ables. And I must say, it was delicious!
Here’s how to make it:
Balsamic Strawberry Tofu Salad
- 6 cups spinach
- 2 cups fresh sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup glazed almonds, or walnuts
- 1 package Toss’ables Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 4 tablespoons poppyseed dressing
In a large bowl, toss spinach, strawberries, nuts, and Toss’ables. Then dress with poppyseed dressing. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
If you are looking for more plant-based protein in your daily meals, I encourage you to try Toss’ables!
They are easy to use and may just break you out of your comfort zone in the kitchen.
