Introduction
A yummy Hawaiian salad that's filling and healthy. Its light, cool and clean, but keeps you full all afternoon. It makes a great meal on its own or a side dish at a potluck or BBQ. The other thing I love about this salad is that it keeps well, too. I make up a batch on Sunday and have it for lunch all week! This is a modification of a salad you find at the grocery store delis here in Hawaii. A yummy Hawaiian salad that's filling and healthy. Its light, cool and clean, but keeps you full all afternoon.

Ingredients
-
1 block Tofu (extra firm)
2C watercress (chopped)
1 cucumber (chopped)
1C cherry tomatoes
1C snap peas
1C Bean Sprouts
2Tbsp Lime vinaigrette (Newman's Own Lighten Up Lime) or Asian Dressing
*2 Tbsp wanton strip croutons (*optional...see instructions)
Directions
Makes: 4-2cup Servings
Prep: not cooking invovled!
Cube raw tofu into 1/2 inch squares and chop veggies into bite-sized pieces. Mix everything (except dressing) together in a large salad bowl and let sit in the fridge for an hour to let flavours settle. note: using cherry tomatoes instead of cubed big tomatoes makes the salad stay fresh longer (up to 4 days)
Serve:
Dish into individual bowls and dress each bowl lightly with vinaigrette and optional wanton croutons*. Eat with chop sticks!
*wanton croutons are yummy, but high in fat, so I only use them once in a while. They are not listed in the nutritional info list, so if you use them, you need to add them as a separate food in your nutrition tracker.
