This looks so good! My instinct with tofu salad is always to up the nooch – do you think a couple of tablespoons or more would still be OK? I like the cheesiness and the B12!
I say go with your instincts!
Usually with feta-style tofu, I like a bit less nooch; but that’s just my preference. Try it, and report back! :-)
This is perfect! I’ve been looking for a tasty, healthy tofu salad recipe. This will even help me get rid of the olives in my fridge. How many servings does this make? Any idea as to the nutrition facts? Thanks!
Yay! … Number of servings sort of depend on how you serve it — with the pita rounds we used for sammies this week, and salad portions to accommodate generous amounts of greens stuffed in there too, it was in the neighborhood of 4-6 servings. As far as nutritional content goes, this site might help: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp … Hope that’s helpful info, and hope you like it! :-)
This looks fantastic! How many red peppers should I use if I’m roasting my own? (I just bought a bag of 6 from Costco)
About 1 roasted pepper should do it. :)
