cucumber tofu salad
It's true... I've had to loosen my apron strings again while I prepare for baby number 4!
For the last few months, I've had morning sickness so bad that I haven't spent much time in the kitchen. But as summer is coming, and the fresh food is hitting the market, my appetite is coming back bit by bit. One thing I have really wanted to eat non-stop is cucumbers. I made a cucumber salad last week but I used a normal amount of onion which was just too much for me still at this point. And the flavors just weren't anything too exciting. Today though, I used those ideas with the old cucumber salad I've made many times and found a perfect combo!
Dressing:
8 TBSP vinegar
2 TBSP sugar
1 tsp salt
4 TBSP EV Olive Oil
Add to:
One peeled cucumber, sliced
1 package firm tofu, cubed
1-2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced
1/8 - 1/4 vadalia onion (you could use a whole onion but it is my strongest food aversion so I really just let it soak in the vinegar for some light flavor)
Then add:
4 large basil leaves, chopped
8 chive stalks, chopped
4 TBSP chopped fresh dill
