Instructions

Prepare the tofu. Add the tofu, tamari, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, dried basil and paprika to a mixing bowl. Stir together, and set aside to marinade for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to packaging instructions.
Prepare the sauce by whisking together the tahini, soy yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic granules and plant based milk.
Add the spaghetti to the sauce together with the red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, spinach and olives. Toss together really well, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the tofu on top of the salad and leave to chill in the fridge for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cold pasta salads often taste better after left overnight in the fridge in an airtight container. It stays good in the fridge for up to 3 days in total.
