Ingredients
For the Salad
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces tofu cut into 1-inch cubes; I like Nasoya Sesame Ginger Tofu
- 1 teaspoon reduced sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 5 ounces mixed greens
- 1 small mango peeled and sliced into thin strips
- 4 ounces jicama sliced into thin strips
- 4 radishes thinly sliced
- ½ medium-size cucumber thinly sliced
- ¼ cup roasted and salted peanuts
For the Dressing
- 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the tofu to the skillet along with one teaspoon of tamari. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, tossing frequently with a spatula, until golden brown on the edges.
- Combine the vinegar, tamari, maple syrup and sesame oil in a small bowl or cup and whisk together.
- Assemble the salads by distributing the greens between two large bowls. Divide the mango, jicama, cucumber and radishes over top of each. Sprinkle with peanuts and set aside.
- Once the tofu is done cooking, divide it among both salads. Top with dressing and enjoy!
