Low-Carb Boosted Mexican Salad For 1 with Spiced Tofu & Lime Dressing
Our Boosted Mexican Mix is the quickest, easiest, healthiest way to add a huge Mexican flavour bomb & fibre bomb to your dishes! Unlike supermarket spice blends this is made without additives, and has extra nutritious ingredients to boost your meals. No need to freak the kids out with all the ‘health food’ packets!
Use this mix to add to your taco fillings, to flavour beans & rice, coat tofu, tempeh or meat before quickly frying, or add to stews, soups, casseroles or pulled meats.
This salad is a low-carb, high-protein, nutritious option, perfect for hot summer days. You can batch cook a large block of tofu & keep the pieces in the fridge for use over a few days & triple or quadruple the salad dressing for food prep. This salad would work really well as a jar salad with hard veg down the bottom with the dressing, and soft veg at the top.
