Hi it’s been a while!
A whole month, to be exact. But now I’m home and school is over (and I jus started my full time, unpaid internship, but let’s not discuss that it’ll all be fine) so I am BACK with a vengeance.
This recipe is ridiculously pretty on a plate, while also being super healthy and very summery. This low-carb recipe combines almond butter roasted tofu wth a fresh mango salad.
Even if you don’t like mixing your sweet and savory, I’m certain you’ll love this recipe. I typically hate sweet and savory flavors, but something about mango (and most nut butters) works so well in savory dishes- you’ve gotta give it a go!

Oh, I love this!! I love all the simple flavors, and I do love a sweet and savory dish for sure. I haven’t made tofu in forever but you’ve inspired me!
Thank you!
Wow! This really is pretty! Congratulations on your unpaid internships. I never knew they existed until my daughters also had them many years ago.
Thanks!
