MiwaRefreshing tofu salad with sweet and sour onion dressing
Because my family had many slices of pizza for lunch, we were craving for something light for that night!
This tofu salad is very refreshing but still filling and nourishing.
I'm using Nutritious Hijiki seaweed seasoned with sweetened soysauce which I often make multiple dishes out of it.
Dressing is a little tangy so good for stimulating your appetite!
Such a refreshing dish!! My stomach is back on normal now! haha

<Miwa’s tips>
・Both firm tofu and silken tofu are tasty! Firm one is more filling!
・By microwaving onion remove the sharpness.
・Hijiki seaweed can be eaten as raw. You just soak in a water for 1 hour and drain off the moisture, then top of the salad. It still works in that way but you would taste more sea weedy smell than my hijiki recipe.
・This salad need to be chilled before digging in!
