Crispy Baked Tofu Salad with Fresh Vegetables

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Quick Meals Salads
A light yet satisfying salad where texture plays the leading role: the alternation of soft lettuce leaves, crunchy cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and chewy, baked tofu makes every bite exciting. This isn't the kind of salad that leaves you hungry half an hour later – the protein in the tofu and the healthy fats in the seeds ensure lasting satiety.

Equipment Needed

  • Salad spinner (recommended)
  • Skillet
  • Large mixing bowl

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soy (soy sauce, tofu)
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Press the tofu to remove excess water, then cut into cubes. Mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the soy sauce and crushed garlic, then toss the tofu in the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

2 ✓

In a hot skillet, fry the marinated tofu until golden brown (approx. 5-7 minutes).

Tip: The garlic in the marinade tends to burn, so cook over medium heat and turn frequently.
3 ✓

Wash and dry the salad greens. Slice the cucumber, cut the tomatoes into wedges, and julienne the carrot.

Tip: Drying the lettuce is critical, otherwise the dressing will slide off the leaves.
4 ✓

Whisk the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small glass until you get a cloudy emulsion.

Tip: Vigorous mixing makes the oil and acid (lemon) creamy.
5 ✓

Place the vegetables in a bowl, drizzle with the dressing, and toss. Pile the fried tofu on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the bottom of my salad watery?
You likely didn't dry the vegetables enough after washing, or you salted them too early (salt draws out moisture). Always add the dressing just before serving.
