Avocado Tofu Salad Recipe

Baby, it’s hot outside!

Here in Florida temperatures are hitting the upper nineties with the humidity factor right up there around ninety-nine percent. It’s hot! It’s sticky! It’s no time to be bent over a hot stove.

I love this light and refreshing salad – it’s a flavor packed meal in itself. If Japan and Mexico fell in love and had a beautiful summer baby, it would be this salad. And the best part? No cooking!

I say this Avocado Tofu Salad recipe serves four. That’s probably true for normal people but I find this salad so addictive it really only feeds one – me!

Recipe Notes: Don’t skip the step of draining your tofu or your salad will be watery. Just cube it up, toss in a strainer and walk away (get a book and a glass of lemonade, find a hammock, relax…) for an hour or so. If sodium is an issue for you, use San-J’s Tamari Lite 50% Less Sodium Gluten Free Soy Sauce.
