A previous market trip left me with lemon cukes, white beets, Hungarian hot wax peppers and an 8 ball zucchini to incorporate into my salade. Therefore, I made sure to include these ingredients along with a few of my new foods. revivify me saladeserves 2
Ingredients: 1 cup firm tofu, diced 1 tsp sesame oil 3 tsp rice wine vinegar 1/2 cup white beet julienned* 1/8 cup red onion, small dice 1/2 Hungarian hot wax, thinly sliced (option to omit or substitute) 1 lime, juiced 1 cup cooked rice 4 cups lettuce 1/2 cup zucchini*, cubed 1/2 cup green beans, sliced 10 slices cucumber* maldon or sea salt freshly cracked black pepper *Many substitutions can be made in this recipe, so free to use whatever you have on-hand. -The white beets are exceptionally sweet and cuts through the Hungarian hot wax pepper quite nicely, but the red would really make this dish pop! -I used 8 ball zucchini, but any variety will work. -Lemon cucumbers can be difficult to find, unless it's summer in MN and you're at a outdoor market. Choose any variety if they aren't available; otherwise, do opt for the lemon for something fun and different. Preparation: 1) In a saute pan, add the oil, and when hot, add the tofu. Brown each side for 1-2 min, add two teaspoons rice wine vinegar, cover with lid and set aside away from heat. 2) Mix the beets, onion, peppers, remaining rice wine vinegar, and lime juice (add the zest if you want more pizazz) in a bowl and set aside. 3) On two plates, arrange the salad beginning with the rice, then lettuce, zucchini, green beans, fanned cucumber, beet/pepper mix, and finally tofu. Add salt and pepper to taste.
