Grilled capsicum and creamy tofu salad - a tasty dish for everyone.
Ingredients:
  • 300g piece firm tofu, cut lengthways into 1 cm-thick slices
  • 1 1/2 medium red capsicum, quartered, deseeded, cut into 1 cm-thick slices
  • 1 bunch rocket, washed, dried, leaves halved or torn
  • 1 small radicchio or mignonette lettuce, leaves separated, washed, dried
  • 1 large celery stick, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 3 slices soy and linseed bread
  • 30.00 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 45.50 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 8.85 gm Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • Salt & ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
  • Press the tofu slices with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
  • Combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, mustard, and oregano in a large shallow glass or ceramic dish. Season generously with salt and pepper, then whisk until well mixed.
  • Place the tofu and capsicum in the flavorful marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the arugula, radicchio, and celery in a spacious serving bowl and leave it aside.
  • Preheat the chargrill or grill on high heat. Take out the tofu and capsicum from the marinade, keeping the marinade aside. Grill the tofu and capsicum for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Once done, slice the tofu into 1 cm-thick pieces.
  • Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and heated through. Next, remove the crusts and cut the bread into small 1 cm cubes.
  • Gently toss together the tofu, capsicum, toast cubes, and reserved marinade in the salad. Serve right away for maximum freshness.
