Ingredients You Need for Caprese Summer Salad [Vegan]
How to Prepare Caprese Summer Salad [Vegan]
For the Balsamic Tofu:
- Chop your tofu into bite-sized pieces. Add to a medium-sized container with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
- Once your tofu bites have marinated for at least 15 minutes, heat your air fryer (or oven) to 400 degrees. Once your air fryer is hot (heats up in about 2 min), add your tofu and fry for 15 minutes.
- Let cool while you finish prepping the rest of the salad.
For the Caprese Salad:
- Wash 1 cup of romaine and add to your bowl once dry. I used a salad spinner to get all the water out. If you don't have one, pat dry.
- Wash 8 or so cherry tomatoes and chop in half.
- Cut an avocado in half and dice. Save the other half in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of vegan mozzarella cheese using a small ice cream scooper. You can also use a fork and mix tiny crumbles throughout the salad.
- Arrange the romaine in a bowl and top with the basil, cherry tomatoes, avocado, mozzarella balls, and tofu.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze and olive oil on top. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve!
