Vegeterian Tips: Reduce your refined sugar intake. I ve got as much of a sweet tooth as anybody, but I try to keep it under control by using such sugar replacers as maple syrup, stevia and agave whenever possible such as in coffee and tea and indulging in the refined stuff only occasionally.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- ripe tomatoes
- firm tofu
- fresh chopped bazil/dried o.k.
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt or salt substitute
- garlic powder
- chopped green onions (optional)
Directions:
This is my vegan version of the classic “Insalata Caprese”,
which is made with fresh mozzarella instead of tofu.
Cut whole tomatoes into approx. 1/4 to 1/2″ thick slices and
arrange on a plate (vine-ripened tomatoes are best because
of their natural sweetness). Pat tofu dry and cut into
approx. 1/8″ thick slices to fit on each tomato slice.
Sprinkle sparingly with salt; add garlic powder
and basil to taste. I like to add the green onions, since
tofu does not have much flavor. Drizzle some good quality
Extra Virgin Olive Oil over everything. Buon Appetito!
Preparation time: 10 min.
