The Great Girl Grill-Off

Jump back boys, the ladies aren’t just cookin’ in the
kitchen anymore. That’s right, at last we’re taking over
the grill…and we’re proving that playing with fire isn’t
just a guy’s game. Of course, now that women are all
over the grill, the backyard BBQ is bound to take on a
whole new attitude.


Grilled Tofu Salad

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1 pound extra firm tofu, sliced into 4 (1/4 inch thick) slices

1 small head broccoli (flowerets only) lightly steamed

1 (4.25 ounce) can sliced California Ripe Olives, drained

Directions

Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, tamari, and garlic in a shallow baking dish. Place tofu, broccoli and California Ripe Olives in marinade and allow to sit for at least 1 hour, but not more than 12 hours.

Thread broccoli and California Ripe Olives onto skewers if using a standard grill. Place tofu and vegetables onto grill (or grill pan), season to taste with salt and pepper and grill over high heat for approximately 2 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat and arrange vegetables and tofu onto serving plates. Serves 3-4.


Well, we said, “You go girls!!!” and you were off and grilling. Not just steaks and burgers though… that’s all been done (and besides we have to leave something for the dudes to do). With women behind the grill, you never know what will be served up next. So we fired up ours, tested out yours and found a winner. Penny Pozgay of Williston, ND's Grilled Tofu Salad was not only delicious and healthy, it came together in a snap. Enjoy those hot summer nights outside of your kitchen and give it a go on your grill. As for the guys, we’ll let them come up with their own winner!
