Grilled Tofu with Chimichurri on Grilled Bread

What makes a great tasting dish? It's all about the marinade! If you let your food bathe in a good sauce for at least 15 minutes it will enhance the flavor of the dish. If you have time to let it sit for an hour, that's a winner! You have to try this Chimichurri Tofu dish, it has so much flavor and it's very easy to make. I always serve it up with a salad dressed with just some lemon juice, touch of olive oil and a dash of salt & pepper... it's so light and refreshing!
