Ideas for Using Protein Rich Tofu

Here are two suggestions for adding protein to your diet.

First: a very simple salad.

Cut the size piece of soft or medium/soft tofu you'd like to serve. Remove the extra water from it by pressing on paper towel or a cloth. Put it on a colored plate and drizzle it with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Garnish with fresh chopped chives or parsley. I didn't have either, so I hopscotched out to my pots on the deck and cut some arugula for the garnish and peppery flavor.

Second: vegetable soup enriched with a slice of tofu.

Heat soup bowls and soup. Slice a piece of tofu and remove the extra water. Put the tofu in the warmed bowl and pour steaming soup on top. Serve immediately, enjoy and build your muscles!
