Are trick or treaters ringing your doorbell? I did the whole ‘put a bowl of candy on the stoop’ move – here’s to hoping the first set of kiddos didn’t just clean me out.
My candy for the night? A nice glass of sweet Moscato. In bed. While listening to the Snow Patrol station on Pandora. Now – that’s a treat for sure.
Winter Salad
Ingredients (for two servings):
-
1 block tofu

4 cups raw shredded kale

1/2 cup water

-
1/2 cup pistachios, shelled
-
Italian or Balsamic dressing to taste
Directions:
-
Cook tofu per cast iron tofu directions.
-
Meanwhile, steam kale with water and coconut oil for 10 minutes in a small pan.

In a large bowl, combine tofu, kale, beats, pistachios, and dressing.

Simple. But really, really good.

I’m jealous of anyone with trick or treaters!!! I wish I had them, I’d love to hand out candy and see their costumes!
I think this salad sounds like a great combination of textures and flavors! Thanks–I want to try pulling this together soon.
We were going do that with our candy since I had to work till 8 tonight, but my sweet husband actually gave out the candy. And now we have more than half a bucket left just for us
thanks an awesome treat.
Pretty salad! We didn’t get one single trick-or-treater here in NY! I’m about an hour from the city, and lots of people are still without power.
Looks delicious!
I’m seeing so many tofu recipes recently, i’m going to have to get some!
Hope the kiddos didn’t clear you out! We only had one lot knock the door just as i was putting my son down to sleep so missed them!
One of my great Halloween pleasures is handing out candy to the children and admiring their custumes. There is so much joy and excitement! I can’t imagine missing out on that.
Oops! I meant costumes!
I need to do more beets.
And I’d say that’s a good move with the candy!
I wish we had trick or treats but due to the storm Halloween was post poned! That salad looks heavenly, def adding to my list of things to make!
So I also had moscato last night. (Pink). Admittedly it was the Target boxed wine variety. Surprisingly, it is delicious despite coming from a box. My friends and I call it cardboardeux.
I put a bowl out on the stoop too! Granted, I left it out there early morning since I didn’t know what time we’d be back from the SF Giants Parade in the city. I also left a little note saying “Enjoy the candy, but please leave some for others to enjoy as well! Happy Halloween!” and too my surprise, there was still a 1/4 of the bowl left.
Oh yum! That looks so good and thankfully, so easy to make!
Did the candy-in-a-bowl thing work for you? I did that last year because I was an intern and had a bunch of work to do. I left a cute little note that said “Happy Halloween!” and “Please take one.” 30 minutes later, I went to check on the bowl and of course it was empty. Fail.
