    I have such a love affair with buffalo sauce, it’s not even funny. This buffalo tofu salad was a no-brainer because I love buffalo sauce over a crispy crunch! Making crispy tofu is easy as well, so this is the perfect combination! Want more of a sandwich, I also have a recipe for a Buffalo Tofu Wrap!

    Crispy tofu over a delicious green salad; then adding celery, tomatoes, tortilla chip crumbles, bleu cheese, and creamy ranch is the perfect combination. I could eat this salad every day. Don't say, “Oh, I don’t like tofu,” because you would never even know there is tofu in this salad unless I told you. After frying it and drenching it in homemade buffalo sauce, there is no way you can’t like tofu. No way.

    How to make Buffalo Tofu Salad:

    **scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

    • In a heavy bottom stock pot with high sides, heat ½ cup of oil over medium high heat. Taking cubes of tofu, dunk into corn starch, evenly coating, and then drop into oil.
      • This may need to be done in 2 or 3 batches, do not over crowd the tofu.
    • Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy (if your oil doesn't cover the tofu, you will need to flip it to crisp the opposite side). Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and set on paper towels. Continue until all tofu is fried.
    • Place tofu into a small bowl and toss with ⅓ cup of homemade buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Set aside.
    • Using 2 large salad bowls, add lettuce to each bowl. Top with celery, tomatoes, tortilla chips, ¼ cup of bleu cheese crumbles (on each salad). Add ½ of the tofu to each salad. Pour ¼ cup ranch dressing over each salad. Toss to combine.
    • Add more buffalo sauce if you like it spicier!

      Yum! I just saw your comment on my site and start perusing yours. So much goodness here! We are vegetarian too, so of course, seeing "buffalo" and "tofu" and "salad" in one recipe definitely caught my healthy-yet-naughty-food loving eye! 😉
