4 more days and I'm having popcorn tonight!
I had the best salad of my life last night! I also wore a sombrero and sang OLAY, OLAY OLAY OLAY... no, I really didn't, but we had Mexican and I got right into it.
Tofu and Spinach Salad with a Lime Avocado dressing
Dressing
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 ripe avocado
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (I used much more)
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Inch of salt
Combine all in a food processor or blender, play with the water and oil to get disired consistency. Set aside some of the thick avocado dressing to use for burrito.
Tofu
In a small skillet, heat oil, some garlic, and a bit of grated ginger. Add Tofu and cook until lightly browned. Sprinkle sesame seeds.
