Salads can become a very complete dish and be served as a single dish. The proof is this marinated tofu, lentil and avocado saladand what I propose today. A salad with a significant amount of protein and healthy fats as you will have time to check.
A few green leaves serve as a base for this salad. Spinach, endives and arugula are some of my favorites to prepare it, but you can create your own mixture. The ideal is to combine leaves with different colors, textures and flavors and adapt the mixture to each season.
The tofu will be the only ingredient that you will have to cook for this salad. And it is that this ingredient can be very bland if it is not given some grace. That's why today marinate with some spices and add it to the warm salad. Do you like the idea? Follow the step by step and enjoy this salad of marinated tofu, lentils and avocado and some baked apples with yogurt for dessert.
