We all love mozzarella cheese, but we can't all "afford" it, if you get my drift.
I will never steer you wrong when it comes to food. This is a GREAT (and vegan, if that matters to you) caprese salad. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
1 beautiful heirloom tomato, sliced thick
2 1/2-inch slices of extra firm tofu -- about 1/4 package
several fresh basil leaves
a drizzle of balsamic vinegar
Stack in order: Tomato, tofu, balsamic, basil
If you don't love this, there's no hope for you. ;c)

I have to say I'm a little nervous to buy tofu. lol.
However... Alice.... you are right, you never steer us wrong, plus, you have good taste.
In fact, I finally bought the shiritaki noodles, now they wait in the fridge for me to be brave enough to make your recipe.
Will buy the tofu, this one looks easy.

Once you buy the tofu, slice it about 1/2" thick, put one slice in a frying pan with a little sesame oil and lightly brown on each side. Then do a taste test of the cooked one next to the cold one. I think you'll get the idea of how versatile it is from that.
BTW - I divide the block into 6 pieces, with each 2 slices = 1 serving = 116 calories & 17g protein!0 -
Bought it... didn't try yet though.
Surprise, tofu is cheap! I got like three little boxes of it at costco for 4.99!
Also excited about the high protein content.
That alone is exciting.... I just need to get the basil and I'll get back to you on this 0
