Need for Salad

This was a really successful bento, considering how little time it took me to make it.

What's in this box:

Savoury box:
- mango and tofu salad
- hummus dressing

Sweet box:
- banana and chocolate chips
- peanut butter caramel
- dates


Method and Recipes: For the salad, I added a handful of mixed salad from a bag, about five sliced cherry tomatoes, a diced slice of mango and two slices of tofu that I had cooked using this method. I usually cook half a block of tofu this way (fits well in my skillet), then store what I don't use to eat during the week.

The hummus dressing was just some hummus thinned with a bit of warm water and some lemon juice. This happened to be some not-too-nice hummus I had made myself following a recipe I am definitely not making again. As hummus it was rubbish but it was ok as a dressing. Any hummus you like will do.

The peanut butter caramel is one of my biggest obsessions, and it is super easy to make.
You will need:
1 part peanut butter
2 parts maple syrup
a splash of vanilla.

Mix everything, microwave for a few seconds, mix again. 
When I put it in my bento, I usually microwave it for ten seconds before dumping it on the bananas. The warm caramel then melts the chocolate chips and you are left with heaven in a bento. I usually make a batch and use it throughout the week.

Final stats:

Total time: 10 minutes including cleanup (I already had the tofu. If you need to cook the tofu it will add maybe 5-10 minutes including cleanup because you can make the other stuff while the tofu is cooking)
