Ingredients
- ½ cup of crumbled tofu
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 5 tablespoons of water
- 5 ounces of mixed greens
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, or any other nut or seed
- ¼ cup of cranberries or raisins
Instructions
- Add the tofu to a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a small jar or bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, sugar, dijon mustard, and water. Mix well and add 2 tablespoons of dressing to the crumbled tofu. Mix well and set aside.
- To assemble the salad, dice 1 and a half apples and thinly slice the other half for garnish. Place the mixed greens in a large salad bowl and add the diced apples. Toss well and garnish with the slices of apples, nuts, cranberries, and tofu.
- Serve immediately with the dressing on the side to keep the greens fresh and crispy.

Notes
- Use crisp apples: The texture is best for salads. Other than that, you can decide if you’d prefer a more sweet or tart flavor.
- For more flavor: Toast the walnuts/pecans in a dry skillet until fragrant.
- Tweak the dressing to taste: Prepare it first, then leave it to sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Before serving, taste and adjust any of the elements to your liking.
- Leave the ‘feta’ to marinate: While it will taste okay if prepared and eaten immediately, it’ll be even better if given at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld and marinate.
