Preparation
 



This is my vegan version of the classic "Insalata Caprese",
which is made with fresh mozzarella instead of tofu.
Cut whole tomatoes into approx. 1/4 to 1/2" thick slices and
arrange on a plate (vine-ripened tomatoes are best because
of their natural sweetness). Pat tofu dry and cut into
approx. 1/8" thick slices to fit on each tomato slice.
Sprinkle sparingly with salt; add garlic powder
and basil to taste. I like to add the green onions, since
tofu does not have much flavor. Drizzle some good quality
Extra Virgin Olive Oil over everything. Buon Appetito!


Preparation time: 10 min.
