ingredients
For the Dressing
- ⅛ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy yogurt
- ½ tablespoon sugar-free strawberry preserve
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
For the Fried Tofu
- 1 block extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed and cubed
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil, for frying
For the Salad
- 3 cups kale
- 1 cooking apple, such as Gala, thinly sliced
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
instructions
- Prepare the dressing by whisking together balsamic vinegar, soy yogurt, strawberry preserve, olive oil mustard and garlic in a small bowl.
- Cut a block of tofu into ½-inch pieces and add them to a medium bowl with the cornstarch. Toss well to coat and shake off any excess starch.
- Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the tofu cubes until all sides are browned; about 4 minutes each side. Drain tofu on a paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
- In an extra large serving bowl, toss the kale, sliced apple and pomegranate seeds.
- Add the tofu and drizzle with half the dressing and toss to coat. Drizzle with the remaining dressing right before serving.
