Tofu, Black Bean & Corn Salad

By evalley60

Wonderful summer dish. Delish. Great way to break into eating tofu.

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. cubed firm tofu
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 Tbs. & 1 tsp. lite soy sauce
• 1 Tbs. & 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup black beans
• 1 cup frozen yellow corn kernels
• 4 scallions (green onions)
• 4 Italian plum tomatoes
• 2 Tbs. & 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 Tbs. & 1 tsp. olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Drain tofu and then pat dry with paper towels.

To make marinade, mix orange juice with soy sauce, add garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes. Place tofu in a dish and pour marinade over it. Let tofu marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Thaw corn.

Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. Cook tofu for about 4-5 min., stirring to brown all sides.

Rinse and chop green onion, tomato and cilantro. Mix corn with beans, onions, tomato and cilantro.

In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, cumin and olive oil. Pour dressing over bean and corn mixture and toss well.

Top with the tofu and serve. I like to serve this over rice. Yumm.

(Sorry for some of the funny measures, but I cut the recipe down.
