BBQ Tofu Steaks With Avocado Kale Salad

Two of my favorite ingredients always get a bad rap, but if done correctly they both can be so GOOD! Kale and tofu are the ones I am talking about. Tofu is such a great protein alternative, it is a sponge for flavors. With kale, people assume from its texture that it won’t be enjoyable. The catch is, that you have to massage it. It can be the same texture as iceberg or arugula if it is massaged with something like sea salt and lemon juice.
