This was amazing. Just amazing. I didn't think I could ever really get excited about a salad, but now I know better. And boy do I ever get excited thinking about this salad.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I feel a little weird discussing my emotions (yes, I now I have salad emotions) about this in such a public forum. Suffice it to say, this salad will change you, and your perception of reality.
This salad looks a little scary to me. I'm very picky about my tofu...
ReplyDeleteWhat's scary about the tofu?
ReplyDeleteJohn thought it was yummy...
Yes, there's no doubt how John feels about your salad. :) I guess I'm just not adventurous enough.
ReplyDeleteI live vicariously through my tofu experiences. In fact! If it weren't for tofu, I doubt that I could have ever blossomed into the man I am today. Without this cabbage tofu salad, and the impact it had on my life, I wouldn't be here, now, talking about this tofu cabbage salad with you, my fellow commentators.
