BBQ Tofu Salad


New to being vegetarian? Got a hankering for those delicious BBQ chicken salads you used to get at restaurants? Satisfy your urge with this delicious recipe from my own head, but I'm sure there is a recipe for this somewhere out there in internet-land.

Mixed salad greens
1 can rinsed and drained black beans
1 can rinsed and drained corn kernels
1 diced tomato
1 diced jalepeno
1/2 one purple onion, diced
1/2 cup of mexican shredded cheese (or vegan cheese)
BBQ tofu
BBQ dressing (1/4 cup BBQ sauce to 2 tbsps of vegan mayo)

Drain a pack of extra firm tofu, and marinate in BBQ sauce for 20 minutes.  Place on a cookie sheet in a single layer, and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

Toss the greens, beans, corn, tomato, jalepeno, onion and cheese. Top with the tofu slices. Drizzle with the BBQ sauce mixture. 

We are going to add tortilla strips next time, if we can find some, to sprinkle on top.

Prep time: 30 min (bake the tofu while you chop and mix)
Taste rating: 9 yummmm!
Dishes: minimal

That's way more exciting than the quesadilla and beans I just ate.

Your quesadilla told me it was sad. >.>
