Being a lifetime veggie lover, I never truly observed the "claim" of meat-based wings. Be that as it may, I liked Hot Sauce. Furthermore, I likewise was that young lady who ate the celery off of the plate while every other person plunged their wings into Ranch Dressing. Ha.
Along these lines, I figured I should "beef up" that celery and transform it into a Salad. With some Crispy Buffalo Tofu to finish everything and a liberal pour of hand crafted Ranch, this barely possesses a flavor like wellbeing nourishment. Be that as it may, it really is!
- For the Tofu:
- 1 block Tofu, pressed
- 3 tbsp Buffalo Hot Sauce, divided
- 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch, Arrowroot Powder, or Tapioca Flour
- For the Hemp Ranch: (makes ~1 cup)
- ½ cup Hemp Hearts
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Nutritional Yeast
- Scant ½ tsp Salt (or to taste)
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Juice of ½ Lemon
- ½ cup Filtered Water
- ½ tbsp Fresh Dill, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
- For the Salad:
- 1 Large Head of Romaine Lettuce
- 3 ribs of Celery, thinly sliced
- 1 small Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ cup Frozen Corn, thawed (or sub fresh)
- 1 Carrot, grated
- Buffalo Tofu, above
- Hemp Ranch Dressing, above
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 450F. Cut the block of pressed Tofu into small bite-sized cubes, and place into a medium bowl.
- Next, sprinkle the Nutritional Yeast and Cornstarch over the Tofu, and mix well until all pieces are evenly coated. Drizzle 2 tbsp of Buffalo Sauce over the Tofu, and stir again.
- Place the Tofu onto a greased or lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the Tofu is in the oven, prepare the Ranch Dressing. Add all of the ingredients except for the fresh herbs into a blender for 60 seconds. Add in the chopped Dill and Parsley, and pulse to combine. Set Aside.
- After 15 Minutes have passed, remove the Tofu from the oven, flip, and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
- During this time, prep your salad ingredients. I like to “char” my corn by adding it to a nonstick skillet and cooking over medium heat until the Corn become browned and fragrant. Use a spatula to stir the Corn occasionally, to ensure all sides cook evenly and that all of the extra liquid evaporates.
- Once the Buffalo Tofu has finished cooking, toss it with the remaining tbsp of Hot Sauce.
- Assemble your Salad and top with Tofu and Ranch Dressing. Store any dressing or Tofu leftovers in sealed containers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
