Ingredients
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- ripe tomatoes
- firm tofu
- fresh chopped bazil/dried o.k.
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt or salt substitute
- garlic powder
- chopped green onions (optional)
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!
