Incredibly Easy Tofu Salad

This is such an easy and basic cold salad, the marinade really makes it work.

Tofu Salad

Ingredients:

One container Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
1 pint fresh grape tomatoes
1 cup green peas
2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
Speidie sauce or vinegar type marinade
Coconut oil for frying

1.  Cut tofu into smaller slabs and place over a paper towel to drain excess moisture
2.  Place into a dish and cover with marinade.  Allow to sit several hours to soak in the flavor.
3.  After the tofu is marinated, cut into cubes and fry in coconut oil until browned.
4. While the tofu is cooking, prepare the rice or quinoa.
5. Defrost frozen peas, chop up fresh tomatoes, and cook sundried tomatoes for 2-4 minutes in water in the microwave to soften them.
6.  When everything is done, combine into salad.
7.  Chill and enjoy!
