[ HEALTHY, SIMPLE, QUICK ]

Summer, heatwave, scorching temperatures… and lunch – somehow don’t fit well together. Nearly everyone (notice the nearly… my family has to be excluded from this conversation) has issues with hunger in this season – with many subsisting on cold shakes, fruits and yoghurt to beat the heat. But we’ve come up with a special summer salad series that are filled with nutrition, delicious, easy to make and of course, are pretty darn cool to make summer lunches an inviting thing.

This is an Asian Ginger Tofu Salad – a complete bowl with fibre, protein, good carbs and yumminess. Make ahead, and simply assemble at the last minute!
