Keto Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy Salad

Baked tofu is wonderful. Instead of the soft, gooey, flavorless mess that people usually describe. You get a rich and flavorful little cube that has crunchy outsides. It’s almost like adding meaty croutons to a salad. Keto Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy Salad!

Keto Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy Salad

Bok Choy is something that I’ve had in the past, and not had the best experience with either. The last time I remember eating it was at my brother’s house when he was attempting to make an Asian stir-fry. The bok choy was rubbery and watery at the same time, and made me stay away from it for a few years.

But, raw bok choy is fantastic! It’s super crunchy, brings a distinct bitter taste to the party, and really balances out everything in this salad.
