Peppers, Peas & Tofu Salad

Bell peppers are every salad maker’s fall-back option! You can never go wrong with these, they taste great no matter how they are cooked and go well with literally everything!

And that is why I decided to pair these up with some radical vegetables and protein! :-)

I decided to grill the tofu separately with a dressing of its own so that it gives a different taste with a every bite, a flavour not used in the dressing of the main salad.

As for the bell peppers, since they go well with almost anything, I decided to use peas and radish with them. Well, I had to eat at least 3 different vegetables per salad and I knew I couldn’t go wrong with this option. And I was right!

The peppers tasted better grilled, the taste of the radish almost was non-existent and the peas were shrunk in size, all of them making the peppers the hero of the dish!
