Garlic And Olive Salad Dressing Tofu Food

TOFU SALAD

Steps:

• Press your tofu (see my full guide HERE on pressing tofu) and cut into your desired shape. I like larger cubes when serving in a salad but really anything works well.
• Make the marinade for the tofu by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic, water, maple syrup, garlic, and salt in a shallow dish. Put the tofu in and shake gently to coat the tofu in the marinade. Let sit for 15-30 minutes.
• To cook the tofu, you can bake it in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping halfway. OR you can pan fry it, which is my favorite, by removing it from the marinade and putting it in a large skillet over medium heat. Flip every few minutes and cook until it's lightly browned on all sides.
• Whisk together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside until ready to use.
• Make the salad by layering in a large bowl the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado and almonds. Pour on the dressing and toss gently to combine. Top with the tofu and any additional toppings.
• Serve and ENJOY!
• If making for meal prep, I suggest leaving off the avocado and simply add it right before serving or it will go brown.
