Tofu Avocado Salad
Description
Tofu Avocado Salad combines silken tofu and ripe avocado cut into small squares and slices to create a creamy base with a smooth mouthfeel. The dressing, made from grated garlic and ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, black vinegar, white pepper, and water, adds layers of savory, slightly sweet, and tangy flavors. The salad is assembled by alternating tofu and avocado slices on a platter, then drizzled with the dressing and garnished with scallions.
This salad offers a delicate balance of creaminess from the tofu and avocado with the bright, savory notes of the dressing, making it suitable as a light side dish or appetizer. Its components require no cooking, emphasizing fresh textures and clean flavors.
Ingredients
- 7 ounces silken tofu (200g, or about half a package)
- 1 avocado ripe
- 2 cloves garlic (grated)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce light
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese black vinegar (can substitute rice wine vinegar, lime juice, yuzu, etc.)
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 teaspoons water
- salt (to taste; you may not need any)
- 1 scallion (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Start by thinly slicing your silken tofu into small squares. Also cut your avocado in half. Thinly slice it crosswise so you get pieces similarly sized to the tofu slices. Arrange alternating slices of silken tofu and avocado on a serving platter.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, vinegar, white pepper, water, and salt to taste. Mix well to combine, and drizzle over the tofu and avocado.
- Garnish with chopped scallions and serve.
