Tofu salad ON Toast

ToFu
My food adventure this week included some firm tofu. Meat is super expensive and takes a lot of time to prepare, so I have been looking for alternative ways to get my protein.  I purchased Nasayo water packed firm tofu. It has about 5 servings worth in a pack for around 3 dollars, not bad! Tofu is kinda like a gold fish you win at a fair. You have to change its water everyday and it only last 5 days. (haha tofu jokes) Ok so I was a little weary to try this because of the texture. I really had to mentally talk myself through eating it, saying its just tofu its just tofu. It had a weird bland taste before I seasoned it, but once I found a good combo I was pleasantly surprised. I try to find meals that have simple ingredients and a short cook time, so here is my quick tofu salad on toast recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients: (2 servings)
6 oz of tofu (I cut the pack into 5 parts and used 1 section)
1/2 red bell pepper or green
1 tsp Spicy brown mustard or Dijon etc
1 tsp Helman's light mayo
Salt and pepper a few shakes of each or to taste
2 slices sprouted wheat bread or whole wheat
2oz red fat sharp cheddar cheese or what ever cheese you have.

Directions-mash tofu, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl with a fork. Cut the pepper into chunks and stir in to the well blended tofu mix. Toast bread. I slice my cheese real thin so that just 1 oz of cheese can cover the whole bread. I toast my bread in a pan because I don't have a toaster, which is nice because then I can melt the cheese on the bread. Once I do that I just scoop the tofu salad on the cheese bread and eat. This is a great protein meal, you should make one or two of your meals out of three a protein meal. It's easy to go carb crazy, but we need balance. If you feel this wont be enough for lunch have a side of fruit or even a salad.
