Apple and Ginger Salad with Tofu
This refreshing apple and ginger salad with tofu, is great served as a starter or as a light lunch served with warm crusty bread ….
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4 as a starter or 2 as a main course
Ingredients:
500 g apples (Jonagold)
1 lemon, juice (50 ml)
120 g dried figs
250 g tofu
8 tbsp rapeseed oil
Dressing:
3 lemons, juice (150 ml)
20 g freshly ground ginger
4 tbsp cane sugar
4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
Fine sea salt
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
Method:
1 Wash the apples and cut into wedges. Remove the core and chop the wedges into 1.5 cm dice. Mix immediately with the lemon juice.
2 Remove the stems from the figs and roughly chop them. Add to the apples.
3 Chop the tofu into 1.5 cm dice and briefly fry in hot rapeseed oil, until golden brown. Leave to cool.
4 Mix the dressing ingredients, pour over the salad and mix well. Season to taste with fine sea salt and refrigerate.
5 Right before serving, mix well once more and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Tip: the lemons will yield more juice if you wash them under warm running water and roll them back and forth on the work surface a few times, while pressing down gently. We like to use Jonagold apples for their aromatic, sweet tartness but the choice of apples is a matter of personal taste.
