A lot of you were curious about the tofu amaranth salad that was posted next to these chive pancakes a few weeks ago. Apologies for taking so long to write it up! The salad was inspired by two things. I wanted to make something with a crunchy texture and creaminess to go with (or in) the wafer-thin chive pancakes. And I wanted something fresh with a nice protein component – enough to make a meal of. I sourced beautiful little gem lettuce fuchsia amaranth leaves ripe avocado and flowering basil. The dressing was coconut milk based. I used some of the can for the pancake batter and didn't want the rest to go to waste so that went into the dressing. I imagine a coconut green goddess dressing would be great too.
