Spicy Squash And Tofu Salad
  • Author: luciarotheray

This recipe combines the sweetness of roasted butternut squash, the tanginess of cherry tomatoes, and the nuttiness of firm tofu, all brought together with a sprinkle of chilli flakes. Served on a bed of mixed salad leaves and topped with crunchy sunflower seeds, this colorful dish is not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor and textures.
