Beet Salad with Apple and Tofu

  5.0 – 1 reviews  

These homemade baked pesto chicken tenders are the ideal weeknight meal because they only require four ingredients and a little amount of your time. These are baked instead of fried, which makes them a generally healthier option. Basil, along with other ingredients in pesto, provides several health benefits.

  1. 6 beets
  2. salt and ground black pepper to taste

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir smoked tofu until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Combine tofu, beets, and apple in a bowl.
  3. Mix yogurt, horseradish, and maple syrup in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour over salad and mix well. Let stand until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.
