Bruschetta Tofu Protein Pasta Salad
This colorful dish was super easy to make and full of plant-based protein! Inspired by Karina’s Bruschetta Chicken Pasta Salad from Cafe Delites. We replaced chicken with tofu and used The Only Bean protein pasta made from soybeans for a whopping total of 40g of protein! 💪
INGREDIENTS
- 1 package (8oz) of The Only Bean Soybean Spaghetti
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 14oz tofu, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook 1 pack of soybean spaghetti according to directions on the package.
