Lemon Tofu Peas Salad

Ingredients

• spinach
• extra Firm tofu
• olive oil
• your favorite hot sauce (ie. Siracha, Valentino)
• 1/2 – 1 cup peas
• non-fat cream cheese
• lemon pepper
• salt

Recipe

Boil peas according to instructions (I buy frozen peas, so I usually boil them for 5 minutes until tender). Drain water and set peas aside. Cut tofu in a long, rectangular shape. Place tofu on a pan with olive oil and heat until golden brown on both sides. Set tofu aside. Empty cream cheese contents into a large bowl, and add peas, lemon pepper and salt to taste, and mix thoroughly. On a plate, spread a small layer of the cream cheese mixture. Next layer on Spinach and 2 slabs of tofu. Add a few drops of hot sauce and garnish with some extra lemon pepper and olive oil. Store leftover tofu and cream cheese mixture in the fridge (eat within 10 days). Enjoy!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Wash kale thoroughly, keep an eye out for critters! Dry kale leaves in between 2 paper towels to get water off or with a salad spinner if you have one. With a knife or with fingers, remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear them into small bite-size pieces. Put dried kale leaves on the greased/covered cookie sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss them around with your fingers to make sure they’re covered (be careful not to add too much olive oil). Season with salt. Bake until the edges are brown but not burnt, usually between 10-15 minutes. Check at 10 minutes. After removing them from the oven, add any optional additional seasoning. Serve at room temperature.
