Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 4 cups mixed greens (romaine, spinach, arugula)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh mint, chopped
- 3 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Press the tofu by wrapping it in paper towels and placing a weight on top for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- While pressing the tofu, chop the mixed greens, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and slice the red bell pepper. Roughly chop the herbs.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and sauté until golden brown on all sides (about 5 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, and peanut butter until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine all chopped vegetables and cooked tofu. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.
