In this healthy salad recipe, cashews and flaxseed take the place of olive oil in the dressing, while seasoned tofu is a low-carb alternative to croutons. Cashews are rich in potassium and iron and contain more carbohydrates (8 grams of carbohydrates in 30 grams of cashews) than other nuts.

Necessary products

for dressing:

  • 1/4 tea cup raw porridge
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons flaxseed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon anchovies
  • 1 teaspoon Worcester sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • pinch of salt

for the salad:

  • 250 grams of lettuce
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 stalk green onion, chopped
  • parmesan cheese, grated

Method of preparation :

To prepare the dressing, soak the cashews for 30 minutes in a bowl with enough water to cover it. Then drain and blend until smooth, with 3 tablespoons of water, lemon juice, flaxseed, mustard, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and salt. Set the dressing aside.

Arrange the tofu cubes on a sheet of baking paper, cover with kitchen paper and press with a heavy pan for 15 minutes to drain off excess liquid. Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion. Add the tofu, stir and leave for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours, then drain and transfer to a plate.

Fry the tofu in hot olive oil until golden and crispy on all sides (about 6-8 minutes).

Prepare the salad by mixing lettuce, cucumber, parsley and green onions in a bowl. Season with dressing, stir and garnish with tofu and parmesan.
