easy dinner

Friday, it rained for most of the day, so I stayed indoors.

Not having moved around much during the day, I wasn't too hungry when it came to dinner time.

I ended up making something easy and light.

Tofu Salad.

Instead of the usual shoyu based dressing, I used Chinese Chicken Salad dressing.

The results...delicious.

I washed some lettuce (I actually found a really teeny bag for 99 yen (about US$.99)), added some chopped green onions, shredded carrots and tofu.

When I went to the market the day before, I found some tofu in individual packets, perfect for one serving (about 70 grams). Four of these packets were only 128 yen (about US$1.28), really reasonable.

I think we'll be having this salad version as the weather starts to warm up.

p.s. I'm sending this to Deb for her Souper Sundays, a great event which is not only for soups :)

    I like making this salad too with Chinese dressing- and I add some tuna. Perfect light meal for hot days

    thanks Alesa :)

    Usually when I make tofu salad with the shoyu based dressing, I add tuna Mary, but skipped it this time :)

    Take care you two.

    Yum! Honestly I used to avoid tofu at all costs, but have really enjoyed it in the last few years!

    the salad looks nice & refreshing. I've been trying to eat more salads again because I'm gaining so much weight back on my "normal" eating trend! I've got a block of tofu in the refer, but too bad no lettuce...

    I usually like tofu and salmon on mine also Jalna, but was too lazy to make the shoyu based dressing :p

    Take care.

    With the extra poundage I put in in the past couple weeks, I better put tofu on the shopping list. Looks and sound delish!

    I'm sure with all the work in your garden you'll lose what you put on in no time Rowena :)

    Take care.
