This tofu avocado salad dish is completely vegan and it is incredibly filling and delicious. The tofu and avocado is so substantial that it easily replaces a meat dish. I find it so satisfying you may even surprise your meat-eating loved ones. Plus it’s so simple to make; it doesn’t require any cooking at all.
This dish is inspired from a dish I was introduced to from a buddhist temple that I used to volunteer at. The peanut dressing is what pulls it all together and gives the dish savoriness, sweetness, and tang.
