Lunch.

So. A question about spinach.

When I prepare spinach, I always trim off the stems. Whenever I get a spinach salad or prepared spinach with garlic or the like, the stems are longer than the actual spinach leaves.

Should I be leaving the stems on?

Tofu Spinach Salad

To incorporate more vegetables into my diet (and fewer carbohydrates), I’ve recently incorporated salads into my regular meal rotation. I’ll be the first to admit that for the longest time, I didn’t consider salads to be a real meal and just saw them as a side. On the rare occasion I did eat a salad during college it was simply because there was nothing else I was willing to eat. In other words, salads were my absolute last resort. And while I still don’t exactly crave salads, I’ve genuinely been enjoying eating this tofu spinach salad for lunch. The crispy tofu serves as a source of protein and also sort of acts like croutons. While a recipe isn’t really necessary for such a simple meal, I’ve been having fun trying to document my meals and meal planning in this way.

Speaking of meal planning, I make this salad four times a week. And that’s an exact number because part of my whole meal planning thing is all about preventing food waste and knowing exactly how each purchased ingredient will be used before buying it. In the case of this salad, one package of tofu is enough for four salads, the red peppers I buy come in a pack of two, and the blue cheese is enough for the four salads with a little extra. As for the spinach, two bags is significantly more than I need, but that does force me to make another two meals per week with spinach. Still developing the recipe, but one meal I’ve been using extra spinach for has been a spinach omelet. Sidenote, but even with predominantly organic ingredients, each salad costs me less than $3 to make. I didn’t do a price breakdown for the vinaigrette or the tofu ingredients, but the other ingredients total $2.46 (see price breakdown at the bottom of this post). 

Ingredients:

2 ounces baby spinach

½ red bell peppers

1 ounce blue cheese 

For Crispy Tofu (4 Servings):

14 ounces extra firm tofu

1 tablespoon cooking oil (canola, olive, or avocado) 

1 tablespoon tamari

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Apple Cider Vinaigrette:

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon maple syrup

Preparation:

Make the Crispy Tofu:

Drain the tofu and press out excess moisture with paper towels.

Cut the tofu into small cubes. (As shown in the photo below, sixths in the x-direction, eighths in the y-direction, and quarters in the z-direction).

Add the cooking oil, tamari, and tofu cubes directly to a quarter-sheet pan. Move the tofu around to coat each side with the oil/tamari and then spread it into a single layer.

Broil the tofu on high for 20 minutes stirring every five minutes. Before the final five minutes, drizzle over the sesame oil.

Prep the Rest of the Salad:

While the tofu cooks, you can prepare the rest of the salad.  

Cut the red pepper into thin strips and then quarters. 

Combine the vinaigrette ingredients in a small leakproof container.

Add spinach. 

Crumble the blue cheese over the top of the spinach.

Top with a quarter of the cooled tofu. 

Ingredient Price Breakdown:

Organic baby spinach, $1.99 for a six-ounce bag at Trader Joe’s

Organic red peppers, $3.49 for a pack of two at Trader Joe’s

Organic extra firm tofu, $1.69 for a 14-ounce package at Whole Foods

Blue cheese, $7.99 per pound at Trader Joe’s

Calculation: $1.99/3 + $3.49/4 + $1.69/4 + $7.99/16 = ~$2.46
