A healthy burdock salad that reduces calories by replacing mayonnaise with fermented tofu, drained of moisture, blended into a rich, nutty dressing.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soak the burdock root in saltwater immediately after slicing to prevent enzymatic browning caused by starch oxidation.
  • If you don’t properly remove moisture from the tofu, the sauce will become overly thick and sticky—make sure to drain all excess liquid after microwaving.
  • Lemon juice cuts through the richness of the tofu and perilla seeds, adding a refreshing finish. If unavailable, substitute with regular vinegar.
  • This vegan and diet-friendly recipe uses no mayonnaise at all, offering a light, clean taste perfect for everyday home meals.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a healthier alternative to mayonnaise due to its high calorie content.
  • People who enjoy the crisp texture of burdock root paired with the smooth, nutty flavor of perilla seeds.
