Instructions
- Start with the tofu ground beef. Press your tofu then crumble it into a large bowl. Add in the seasonings and mix well to combine. Spread your tofu onto a baking sheet and bake at 425f for 25-30 minutes tossing halfway through.
- Next make your crispy potatoes. Cube your potatoes and toss in salt and pepper and air fry at 400f for 15 minutes or until crispy. If using the oven you can bake them at 400f for 30 minutes tossing halfway through.
- Now make your cashew big mac sauce! Just add all of the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until completely smooth! If you do not have a high speed blender you may need to soak the cashews in boiling water to soften them so the sauce will be nice and smooth.
- Chop up and prepare the rest of your veggies.
- Let your potatoes and tofu cool so they do not wilt the lettuce and assemble your salad jars, dividing all of the ingredients into 3 separate jars.
- Start with the crispy potatoes on bottom then the tofu ground beef followed by the big mac sauce! Net add the tomatoes, pickles and onions and finally finish with the lettuce and sesame seeds.
- Pop on a lid and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days! Just flip them out into a bowl when you're ready to enjoy!
