    Tofu & Broccoli Salad is a hearty and delicious dish that is great to pack for lunchbox.

    Broccoli and Tofu Salad with Peanut dressingMy husband recently has been asking me to make salad for lunch and dinner. I love salads but I wasn’t sure how it would taste when packed for lunch. A quick google search landed me on the Kitchn's site and their yummy looking Tofu & Broccoli Salad looked like a total winner.Broccoli and Tofu Salad with Peanut dressingThis salad is very convenient to make because it calls for store bought broccoli slaw. I always have a bag of broccoli slaw in the fridge. It has grated broccoli, along with thinly grated purple cabbage and carrot. I always keep a bag of it in the fridge for quick meals like today's salad and to add to stir fries and rice dishes.

    My favorite part of this salad is the peanut dressing and if you already didn’t know I love peanut butter dressing. I have quite a few recipes that have that dressing like this Thai quinoa salad and this vegan Buddha bowl. I add sriracha sauce to add a little kick to the dish.Broccoli and Tofu Salad with Peanut dressingSalad is topped with baked tofu. You can either buy store bought or make it yourself. This is another one of those ingredients that I always keep in the fridge, but I made my own baked tofu this time and it was absolutely delicious. I used half of it on the salad and the other half my kids ate it as is. It can be served as a snack for kids - it’s that good.Broccoli and Tofu Salad with Peanut dressingThis is probably one of my favorite lunchbox recipes that I made for this week. I can see myself making it often in the future.

      The first click is so yum Pavani. It is only recently that I have learnt to appreciate broccoli to the fullest. Though a little on the expensive side here, I make it sometimes but the kids are not too fond of it. I am sure this salad tastes great with the baked tofu and broccoli and that peanut butter dressing

      We love peanut butter sauce as well,. Pavani. This bowl of salad will be paradise for my older one. I should try this broccoli slaw sometime. I always steam broccoli and season it for salads. Also the edamame looks super fresh in the bowl. Must replenish my freezer with edamame.

      What a lovely medley of catchy and attractive vegetables loaded salad, never thought of dishing out a filling and super healthy salad with tofu like this. Now am so tempted to make this sort of tofu based salads often at home. Lovely salad.

      That salad looks so beautiful with contrasting colored ingredients and that peanut butter dressing must add a lot of zing to the salad.
