🥑 silken tofu salad
|
Hi Reader, Today I’m sharing something a little different: silken tofu salad with avocado. It’s a Japanese-inspired salad made with soft tofu, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and a simple sesame plum dressing. If you haven’t used silken tofu before, it has a soft, custard-like texture and works beautifully in chilled dishes like this one. And if ume plum vinegar is new to you, don’t worry. I included tips and an easy substitution in the post. The whole salad comes together in about 15 minutes, and it’s fresh, colorful, and just a little unexpected in the best way.
Love and Veggies, Amy P.S. This recipe is currently ranking #1 on Google for “silken tofu salad,” which made my day. Google’s AI may be trying to turn it into a Frankenstein recipe, but the real one is waiting for you on the blog. |

Hi Reader, Taco night just got a little herby. These vegan mushroom tacos are filled with garlicky sauteed mushrooms and topped with homemade chimichurri sauce. They’re simple, saucy, and ready in about 25 minutes. I love how the mushrooms make a savory filling, while the chimichurri adds a bright, tangy finish with parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Add sliced avocado or your favorite taco toppings, and dinner is done. Get the recipe for Vegan Mushroom Tacos Love and...
Hi Reader, I spotted the most beautiful cherry tomatoes at the farmers market over the weekend, and they immediately made me think of this simple pasta. Angel hair pomodoro is made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and basil, so it’s perfect when summer tomatoes are at their best. The tomatoes cook down quickly in the skillet while the pasta boils, then everything gets tossed together with a little reserved pasta water. It’s fresh, simple, and ready in about 30 minutes.

Hi Reader, Summer is almost here, and I can't wait for our first dinner of the season cooked outside on the grill. I already know I'll be making teriyaki tofu skewers with fresh pineapple, sweet bell pepper, and red onion. They’re easy to prepare since the tofu only needs 15 minutes to marinate, and the homemade sauce takes just 10 minutes to whip up. Debbie said, "Yummy teriyaki sauce. It is great for veggies too."
