On a hot day, tofu is best



















When the temperature outside rises, the temperature inside our apartment becomes almost sauna-like. On such days turning on the stove is the last thing I want to do. Hooray for tofu which can be eaten without any cooking. This is the salad I made for supper yesterday. It consists of mixed seaweed, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, shiso and soft tofu, with vinegar dressing and sesame seeds. Delicious, refreshing and easy!
The dressing is very simple and very all purpose. It consists of 3 parts rice vinegar, 2 parts Splenda or sugar and one part soy sauce and sesame oil. You can increase and decrease the amount as needed. Just keep in mind the 3:2:1:1. Try it on lettuce salad or on sliced cucumbers!
