Maple and Lime Tofu Skewers with Corn and Pineapple Salsa
During summer, I have to make the most of corn, a.k.a. my FAVORITE food!!!! I like to incorporate it into my recipes in all sorts of ways, like here, in a pineapple salsa!
I’m a big fan of sweet and sour, and salsa goes perfectly with Asian-style tofu skewers that taste like heaven!

Once the BBQ is hot, reduce the heat to medium and cook the tofu brochettes for about 3 minutes on each side.
