Tofu Scramble

Side Salad

Method

Tofu Scramble

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the organic tofu and gently press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tofu and Seasonings

    Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the cumin, turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Finish with Cilantro

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

Side Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 6

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

  3. 7

    Combine Salad and Dressing

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
