My go to weeknight dinner has got to be this Mexican tofu salad. It's ridiculously easy to throw together in just 35 minutes total, and honestly, it costs next to nothing since tofu is so affordable. The best part? Black beans are packed with protein and fiber, so you're getting a seriously nutritious meal that actually keeps you full. I love how the crispy tofu plays against the fresh greens and creamy avocado, all tied together with that zesty lime and cilantro dressing. Trust me, once you make this once, you'll find yourself craving it constantly.
