It all started when I began feeling increasingly sluggish. Without 7 to 9 hours of nightly sleep, I would feel tired, have brain fog, see more sugar cravings, and was just a little pissy. I’m thinking it’s partly because of menopause.

Here's what I learned after digging into midlife, hormones and sleep:

Tofu Caesar Salad with Tahini Dressing
From Amelia Freer

I LOVE a good Caesar salad! This one is updated with tofu and garbanzos, which make it filling.
Serves 2

For the crispy tofu:
1 block firm tofu
2 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp avocado oil

For the “croutons”:
1 can garbanzo beans
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper, garlic powder and a couple of shakes of paprika

For the salad:
2 bunches of Romaine lettuce, washed, leaves separated
½ bunch chives, chopped

For the dressing:
½ cup tahini
½ cup warm water
juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

Wrap tofu in a clean towel and place on a plate or tray with a lip. Place something heavy on top and drain for at least 30 minutes. While the tofu is draining, make your croutons.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle the oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika over the garbanzos and until coated then place onto a baking tray. Bake for 20-30 min or until they are golden and crunchy.

Mix together cornstarch and salt and set aside. Once the tofu has drained, chop it into cubes, around 2 inches. Place tofu into mixing bowl and drizzle over the oil, tossing it together with your hands to make sure it’s evenly coated. Add the cornstarch mix and continue to gently toss together until the tofu is coated. Spread tofu onto baking tray, making sure that none of the cubes are touching each other, and bake for 15 minutes. Use tongs to carefully flip over the tofu and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.

To make the dressing, place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more water until you reach your desired consistency.

To serve, toss the lettuce, chives and half of the crispy tofu with a few tablespoons of the dressing. Tip into a serving bowl, scatter over the remaining tofu, croutons, drizzle over a little more dressing and serve.

Tip: This salad is also great with leftover shredded chicken on top.
