As your guests wait for the main meal this Thanksgiving, start them off with these delicious Moroccan Tofu Salad Lettuce Cups. Made using the Hodo Chermoula Moroccan Tofu Cubes.
I am a huge fan of appetizers and hors d’oeuvres. They’re great for parties and get togethers. They’re also perfect to eat before your Thanksgiving meal. It makes the people who show up starving have a little something to snack on before your main meal. These lettuce cups are perfect because they’re light, fresh and full of flavor. I used the Hodo Chermoula Moroccan Tofu Cubes for this recipe because they’re already pre-marinated and cut into cubes which makes the cooking process incredibly easy. You can also prep these cubes the day before so these lettuce cups are even easier to prepare the day of.
I used other flavors in these lettuce cups such as turmeric and cumin, and different textures like raisins and pumpkin seeds. I used unsweetened coconut milk yogurt as the base but you can use vegan mayo or another type of unsweetened yogurt.
Hodo makes their tofu using artisan methods in Oakland, CA and is used in the kitchens of Michelin Chefs as well as discerning home chefs!
