Ингредиенты
- 1/4 cup liquid aminos (you can use tamari too but the aminos have a more mild flavor... in my opinion)
- 3 teaspoons curry powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1 package extra firm tofu
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 2 cups water (to cook the quinoa)
- 1 apple, chopped
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup carrot, thinly sliced (I used the glorious mandoline. You could also get matchstick carrots)
- about 1/2 heaping cup parsley, chopped
- For the dressing:
- 3t agave nectar
- 1 Tablespoon shallots, finely chopped (you could also use the dried shallots that I lurve so much)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 t salt
- 4 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Pepper
