Report
This flavorful Tofu Salad features crisp veggies, crunchy peanuts, warm baked tofu, and a savory dressing. It's protein-rich, healthy, and easy to assemble!

Ingredients
- 1 large head romaine lettuce (about 5-6 cups chopped)
- 1/2 English cucumber
- 3-4 green onions
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 2/3 cup peanuts roasted
- 1 batch tofu easy baked
- 1-2 Tbsp. Thai basil (optional)
For the savory dressing:
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar unseasoned
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. tamari
- 2 tsp. white miso
- 2 tsp. pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tsp. sesame seeds
Instructions
- Make the tofu: Begin by preparing the Easy Baked Tofu.
- Prepare the veggies: While the tofu bakes in the oven, chop your romaine. Place it in a large bowl. Then very thinly slice the cucumber into half moons. Slice the green onions. Place in the bowl with romaine. Add the shredded carrot.
- Make the dressing: Add all the dressing ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and the miso is dissolved.
- Combine: When the tofu is finished baking, add it to the salad. Top with peanuts. Then pour the dressing over the top. Lightly toss to combine. (Or serve the dressing on the side instead of tossing it with the salad.)
- Garnish: I like to garnish mine with red pepper flakes and Thai basil.
Notes
- Variations: Include other veggies like red cabbage, mung bean sprouts, red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, edamame, etc. You can also add 1-2 tsp. toasted sesame oil to the dressing if you wish.
- Optional garnish: Top your bowl with fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, pickled ginger, crispy wonton strips, etc.
- Nuts: You can also include slivered almonds or cashews.
- Assembling: Instead of building the salad in one large bowl, you can plate the salads individually for each person. Or set out all the ingredients on the counter for a build-your-own salad bar!
- Servings: This recipe makes about 3-4 main dish servings, or 5-8 side dish servings.
