Chop your romaine lettuce into pieces and place in a bowl and set aside
Tofu
Cut your tofu into thing slices as shown in the picture above. You can also cut your tofu into skinny pieces depending on the thickness of your tofu (mine was quite large so I opted to cut them into more “bacon” sized slices)
In a bowl, mix together tamari, maple syrup, and chilli pepper.
You can choose to let the tofu strips marinate for a few hours, or soak them quickly 5-10 minutes.
Put coconut oil in a pan, and place over medium heat. Add in the tofu strips. Use some of the excess sauce to cover the tofu strips for extra flavour.
Let your tofu strips cook for about 15 minutes, flipping half way through. Fry to desired crispiness. You may need to add a little more coconut oil if you find there isn’t enough.
You can choose to leave the tofu bacon whole, or crumble into pieces over your salad.
Salad Dressing
Place olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and cashews in a blender and blend on high.
Add additional cashews for extra thickness, and salt/pepper to taste!
Mix your dressing in with your greens in a large bowl, and serve topped with tofu bacon bits, and Mettrum Originals Hemp Seeds.
