This hearty adaptation of a traditional Italian bread salad uses a dressing made creamy with soft tofu. The tofu not only enhances the texture of the dressing, but is nutrient-dense as well.
 

Ingredients

1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces   
4 slice(s) white bread, crusty or Italian bread   
2 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray   
1/2 tsp table salt   
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste   
4 medium tomato(es), very ripe, chopped   
2 cup(s) arugula, washed and trimmed   
1/2 cup(s) soft tofu   
2 tsp olive oil, extra-virgin   
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice   
1 large garlic clove(s), chopped   
1/2 cup(s) basil, chopped   
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste   

Instructions

  • Prepare coals for grill.

  • Spray chicken breasts and bread with olive oil cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

  • Grill chicken on both sides until done, about 6 minutes per side. Grill bread on both sides until nicely toasted. Set chicken and bread aside to cool.

  • In large bowl, toss together tomatoes and arugula.

  • To make dressing, blend tofu, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil and salt in a blender until smooth.
