Tofu Tahini Salad
I'm a big fan of Mediterranean food. I usually eat hummus in one of my meals at least three times a week. I switched it up this time and used the main ingredient of hummus, which is tahini. Tahini is simply grounded sesame seeds. Tahini is a good source of fatty acids for those who don't get enough of it in their diets and can be used as an alternative for butter or margarine. By pairing tofu and tahini this salad will be sure to fill you up if you're a vegetarian.
What you'll need:
2 tablespoons of Tahini
Romaine lettuce
Extra firm tofu
Tomato
1 tablespoon of feta cheese
Black olives
Lemon juice
Capers
What to do:
1. Drain tofu and saute tofu in olive oil on both sides. A few minutes on each side will do.
2. Cut romaine and add tomato, olives, and feta cheese.
3. Cool tofu and add to salad
4. Add tahini and capers. Squirt lemon juice to taste all over salad and enjoy.
