Warm salad of vegetables and tofu

2 servings

30 minutes

Warm vegetable and tofu salad is a harmony of fresh vegetables and tender tofu fried to a golden crust. It originates from European cuisine, which values the balance of textures and flavors. Beans and mushrooms add tenderness, sweet pepper and celery provide freshness and crunch, while onion brings a light spiciness. Soy sauce and pepper mix enrich the dish with subtle Eastern notes. This dish is perfect for a light dinner or nutritious snack; it doesn't overwhelm but satisfies. It can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to the main course. It combines rich flavor with dietary benefits, making it an appealing choice for health-conscious eaters.
