Ingredients

14-16 ounce block of tofu
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of water
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey
2 tablespoons of fresh herbs 4-6 large basil leaves, very finely diced
Freshly ground salt and black pepper, to taste
2 large heads of romaine (about 8 loosely packed cups of lettuce) chopped
⅔ cup of diced cucumber
⅔ cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 avocado, diced or thinly sliced
¼ cup of sliced almonds

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.

Press the tofu for 20 minutes before you start. It's ideal if you use a tofu press but if you don't have a tofu press then stand the tofu on a plate, with another plate on top of it, and then stack something heavy on top of that like a heavy pot or some heavy books.
Add the soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil and hoisin sauce to a bowl or measuring jug and whisk into a sauce (leave the cornstarch until later).
When the tofu has finished pressing, cut it into cubes and place into a glass dish. Pour over the marinade sauce and turn over the cubes of tofu so that both sides are covered in marinade sauce. Place into the fridge and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, heat a frying pan with a little sesame oil. Take the tofu out of the marinade sauce and fry it until golden brown.
