GINGER–SESAME TOFU SALAD
This colorful, nutrient-packed salad has a DELICIOUS low-calorie dressing. Not a tofu fan? Feel free to swap it for cooked chicken or beef!
Tuna would be good as well!
Juice of 1 small orange
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon your favorite sugar alternative (such as Stevia™, Truvia™, Splenda™*, or agave nectar)

½ teaspoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, grated
6 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, and diced into cubes
