Silken Tofu Salad with Tomato and Bacon

March 09, 2022

This recipe is, at its simplest, a no-cook recipe (which is great news for all of us at home). In fact, the only task required to complete this dish is assembly. This quick fix yields a meal so simple and delicious you’ll want to eat it every week at the very least. Cold tofu dishes are quite common in Japan, and Sachi's dad used to make this dish for her and her sister every year just as soon as it would start getting warm outside. Enjoy it with a steaming bowl of rice and gasp in amazement at the delectable meal you've just created without so much as touching a burner!
