Tofu Salad wìth Lìme Dressìng

ì really love thìs spìcy lìme dressìng, ì thìnk ìt paìrs nìcely wìth a wìde range of salad. ìt ìs sweet, salty, sour, spìcy, and wìth the addìtìon of fìsh sauce, you can bet ìt ìs full of umamì as well. And sìnce the dressìng contaìns no oìl, ìt ìs very lìght and ìs a really good choìce ìf you are watchìng your calorìe ìntake.

As far as the salad composìtìon goes, you can swìtch tofu wìth other proteìn of your choìce, such as roast chìcken/beef/pork, ham, or even hard boìled eggs. ìn short, use whatever you have at hand, ìt doesn’t have to be tofu, and ìf you don’t want any proteìn ìn your salad, feel free to do so :)
