This hearty adaptation of a traditional Italian bread salad comes together quickly and uses a dressing made with tofu. The tofu creates a creamy texture that tastes rich and smooth, but without the mayonnaise that traditionally anchors these dressings. This tofu-based version is leaner and higher in protein. You can also serve it as a dip for vegetables. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Grilling over charcoal gives the bread and chicken a nice smokiness that amps up the flavor of this salad. You can of course prepare them on a gas grill or indoors on a grill pan.
