I got perhaps the largest head of lettuce I have ever seen last week, plus a big bag of spring mix. Salads every day! The last thing I want to do is just eat boring lettuce, so I like to get creative with the salads and make it an exciting meal. What better way to do that than to add a few of my favorite ingredients?
Goat Cheese? Love. Walnuts? Delish. Avocado? Obsessed. And for extra protein some tofu "croutons." Mmm. Doesn't this look better than the typical boring lettuce side salad?
Ingredients for four salads:
about 8-12 cups of lettuce, enough to fill 4 bowls
2 oz goat cheese, crumbled
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 block sauteed tofu
For the Balsamic Vinaigrette:
2 T balsamic vinegar
2 T olive oil
1 t Dijon mustard
salt & pepper to taste
Saute your tofu. While it's cooking, divide the rest of the salad ingredients among four bowls, then top with the tofu once it's done. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients, then top salad with vinaigrette. So easy!
