With the addition of tofu, this potato salad can be a flavorful dish during summer months, but is welcome any time of year.
Ingredients
- 5 medium Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes
- 14- to 16-ounce tub extra-firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon exra-virgin olive oil
- ½ medium green pepper, cut into short thin strips
- ½ medium red bell pepper, cut into short thin strips
- ¼ to ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-cured or not, as you prefer), thinly sliced
- ½ cup natural bottled vinaigrette or homemade vinaigrette
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Microwave or bake the potatoes in their skins until done but still firm. Let them cool to room temperature. Slip their skins off when they’ve cooled and cut into ½- to ¾-inch chunks and place in a serving container.
- Meanwhile, cut the tofu into ½-inch-thick slices. Blot well between clean tea-towels or several layers of paper towel, and cut into ½-inch dice.
- Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of a wide skillet. Add the tofu and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until golden on most sides.
- Combine the tofu with the potatoes in the serving container. Add the remaining ingredients and stir together gently.
- Cover and allow the salad to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. If needed, add a bit more vinaigrette to moisten, then stir again and serve.
