Curried Tofu Salad

It's Friday!  And....I have a girls night tomorrow night!  I can't wait. I'll be trying out a new restaurant at the beach called Salt Life.  Hubby has been out of town on a golf trip since Wednesday so it's just been us girls at home (my daughter and I).  My mom is coming over tonight for pizza, salad and wine and then tomorrow we're all heading out to hang out at the beach, mom will take the baby back and I have a night out with my friend Justine! 

Do you have any big plans for the weekend?  Let me know....I love comments!

Tofu, tofu everywhere....

I came across this version of curry tofu and thought I would try it out on one of my own salads.  It was really crispy.  I'm not sure if the cornstarch is what did it but this tofu had such a nice crust.

Printable Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 block extra firm tofu, drained, pressed (overnight if possible) and cubed into desired size
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 1/2 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
Salt
Organic extra virgin olive oil spray

Salad:
4 Servings

Mixed salad greens
2 carrots, chopped
2 ears grilled corn, kernels removed
1 cup grilled green beans
2 cups grape tomatoes
Handful of fresh cilantro
1/2 cup diced onion
4 Tbsp Annie's Naturals Organic Goddess Dressing
4 Tbsp Annie's Naturals Light Gingerly Vinaigrette

Directions

1. Mix the corn starch, curry, turmeric and salt in a baggie large enough to hold all the tofu.  Close it and shake to mix. 

2. Toss the tofu cubes into the bag and shake gently to coat.  Set in refrigerator 20 minutes to overnight if possible.

3. Spray a large skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium high heat.   Add the tofu cubes in an even layer in the pan.  Once the first side is browned, toss with spatula and spread evenly so the remaining sides crisp up.  
***I sprayed additional olive oil spray several times over the tofu to prevent sticking.

4. Layer the salad greens through diced onion divided evenly over four plates.  Top each serving with 1 Tbsp of each dressing.  Toss to coat. 

5. Top salad with tofu.
