Oven Roasted Tofu Chicken Salad
This Oven Roasted Tofu Chicken Salad recipe is one of my favorites. There was a period of time where I ate it at least twice a week for lunch. It's a simple recipe and is so tasty.
The tofu in this recipe is slow-roasted. This makes it so rich and sweet in flavor while giving it a firm and tender texture. You can serve the tofu with rice or potatoes as the entree. Or cool it, dice it, and use it in salads like this one.
This chicken salad can be used as a filling for sandwiches or pita breads. You can also serve it over crisp lettuce with diced red onions and cucumbers.
