Salad is the main thing that comes into your mind when you are on a diet and there’s nothing wrong with that. Some people even welcomes the idea of no meat diet. Well, it’s their choice. But don’t we need protein in our diet to last a day? I guess it would not hurt to elevate it even with just a tiny bit of meat. Hardcore vegans are obviously not gonna be happy with this but they can always take the meat part out of it. They still eat tofu though, don’t they?
I got a really cute iceberg lettuce from the market and I thought of making salad cups and I’m really happy with the outcome. It’s savoury from the smokiness of the bacon and I like the texture from the tofu.
If you’ve seen my early entries you would know how much of a tofu addict I am.. So this is another way of exploring the possibilities of tofu. Lol.
