How to make vegan caprese skewers
Press your tofu using a tofu press or by wrapping it in a kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top. Press for 10 minutes.
Slice and Season. Slice your tofu into small cubes then toss with salt, pepper and oregano.
Assemble your mini caprese skewers with 1 cherry tomato, a cube of tofu, a basil leaf and drizzle with a balsamic glaze.
Some tips from Steph
Drizzle some olive oil over top of the skewers for an authentic taste!
Make a vegan caprese salad! Use the same ingredients but swap cherry tomatoes for large thinly cut tomatoes. Slice the tofu into large thin rounds to mimic the classic caprese salad look!
Make them ahead of time for an easy set up! You can make these the night before!
Add some cubed avocado for some healthy fats!
