Steps:
- For the dressing:.

- For the salad:.
- Heat the oil over a medium-high flame in a large skillet. Author suggests cast iron - I use French stainless. Dry the tofu. Brown the tofu in the skillet - about 5 minutes a side. Flip and brown on the other side. Remove to drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the tofu (when cool enough to handle) thinly, about 1/8" or so.

- Garnish with cilantro and serve.

RAW YAM SALAD
Aromatic, refreshing, quick and very healthy! Not to mention easy too. A side dish that goes with just about any chicken or fish dinner but can also be enjoyed just as a snack. My mother and I came up with this little specialty about a year ago and has become a staple in our meal planning. I get my lavender and fennel from my local health food store. If you don't have grape seed oil you can use olive oil but the grape seed oil is lighter. Also, white wine vinegar works well as a substitute for rice vinegar. If you find the dressing was not enough to saturate all the yam just add more until desired amount and flavor.

Provided by YOder
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss yams with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and arrange evenly onto a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until the yams are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion has caramelized to a golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the kale, cooking until wilted and tender. Transfer the kale mixture to a bowl, and cool to room temperature in the refrigerator. Once all the ingredients have cooled, combine the yams, kale, red wine vinegar, and fresh thyme in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir gently.
Tips:
- Choose yams that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- If you're using canned yams, rinse them thoroughly before using.
- To save time, you can microwave the yams instead of boiling them.
- Be careful not to overcook the yams, or they will become mushy.
- If you're making a salad with raw yams, be sure to peel them first.
- For a sweeter salad, use brown sugar or honey instead of white sugar.
- Add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to your salad for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve your salad immediately, or chill it for later.
