Chilled Ramen Salad
with Miso-Tahini Tofu
Hot summer nights are meant for cool, refreshing dinners. Rather than heat up the oven or stand over a hot stove, we chose to keep things cool with this no-cook tofu salad. Cubes of tender tofu soak up the nutty, savory flavors of a tahini and miso-based marinade. Crisp, cool cucumber and carrot ribbons add colorful crunch to high-fiber ramen in this protein-packed supper.
