Tofu Salad with Sesame Ponzu Dressing
Report
This easy Japanese Tofu Salad with Sesame Ponzu Dressing is a refreshing salad with leafy greens, tofu, corn, wakame seaweed, and fragrant Japanese herb – shiso leaves. You’ll love the tangy ponzu sauce, too. It is super easy to make and goes well with many Japanese and Asian dishes. So make a big batch!
