HOW TO MAKE TOFU MUSHROOM SALAD AT HOME.

This salad is also super simple to make, simply cook off the mushrooms, then stir in the tofu, then toss together the quinoa and veggies with the dressing in a large bowl and you’re good to go. It was super flavourful and filling enough that it didn’t feel like a salad, but it also felt super nourishing and energising too.
