tofu veggie tacos with peanut sauce

ok...so these aren't really tacos...

 

 

ingredients:

 

whole grain flat bread

 

thai or teryaki baked tofu, cubed

 

 chopped kale

 

shredded red cabbage

 

shredded carrots

 

diced cucumbers

 

fresh cilantro

 

sesame seeds

 

peanut viniagarette

 

how to:

 

mix all ingredients except flat bread, go light on the dressing at first.

 

lightly toast the flatbread in a med-hot skillet

 

this is where it gets kinda taco-ish....just put some of the vegetable mixture into the warmed flatbread and top with more peanut dressing if desired.  eat like a soft taco. :)

 



grilled veggie sandwich with cilantro pesto and peanut sauce

long title, i know...but i just couldn't leave out any of the important parts.....

tried to duplicate a sandwich i had at Cafe Solstice (with a few alterations, of course) that kinda sorta rocked my world.....

ingredients:

2 slices of bread of choice

oil free cilantro pesto

mixed salad greens

shredded red cabbage

thinly sliced cucumbers

thinly sliced mushrooms

shredded carrots

prepared peanut sauce or dressing (i used Trader Joe's Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette)

how to:

spread a generous layer of cilantro pesto on one slice of bread

top with vegetables 

drizzle generously with peanut sauce (do not go light on this, but make sure you put it on the vegetables and not the bread or your bread will get too soggy and stick during grilling.)

top with remaining slice of bread and grill in a med-hot skillet, pressing down with a spatula as you grille each side (no need for butter or oil, believe it or not)
