You know its summer when blogs posts are filled to the brim with salads of every variety!
I recently made this salad one evening for dinner, I was tired, hungry and didn’t feel like being arms deep in washing up. This salad is simplicity at its best and it turns out, my Spicy Tofu Salad has been requested several times since then! so I know its a hit 🙂
A little note on soy: Firstly it’s an absolute must to always choose ORGANIC soy products, Soy beans are one of the highest GMO produced food in the world! that means not only are you having soy, you are also having chemicals and genetically modified versions of soy – which lets face it, for our health is far from ideal!
Soy products are not great for everyone, if you are unsure speak to your health professional.
