Quality Protein
14 oz (400g) organic firm tofu
2 Tbsp parmesan, grated

Non-Starchy Veggies
4 romaine lettuce leaves, shredded

Healthy Fats
½ small avocado, sliced
1 Tbsp coconut oil for frying

Complex Carbs (Optional)
4 rice paper wrappers

Extras
2 Tbsp Caesar dressing for dipping (seed-oil free brand or homemade), sea salt and black pepper

Make It

1. Slice the tofu into thin rectangles and press with a towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Let cool, then slice into strips.

3. Dip one rice paper in a bowl of warm water. Remove when slightly softened and place carefully on a plate lined with a damp cloth.

4. Place a few strips of tofu in the centre, top with avocado and parmesan, then the shredded lettuce.

5. Fold the sides in first, then wrap tightly. Set aside on a plate lined with a damp cloth and repeat with the rest.

6. Serve straight away with the Caesar dressing for dipping.

Make It Your Own

• Swap the tofu for grilled chicken or shrimp

• Herbs: fresh basil or mint tucked in with the lettuce

• Heat: a spoon of chilli crisp in the dipping sauce

Notes

• Dip your fingers in water so your hands are damp when handling the wrapper. It will stick less.

• Press the tofu properly. The drier it is, the crisper it fries.

• For the method, see how to make crispy tofu.

• Serve as the Quality Protein and Complex Carbs in any balanced meal.
