Step 1

Press and Prepare Tofu:Drain the tofu block and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 2

Place a heavy object (like a skillet) on top and press for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

After pressing, slice the tofu into cubes or thick slabs.

Step 4

Marinate the Tofu:In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and maple syrup.

Step 5

Add tofu cubes, toss them in the marinade, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (the longer, the better).

Step 6

Grill the Tofu:Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the tofu on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy with grill marks.

Step 9

Remove the tofu and set aside.

Step 10

Prepare the Salad:In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber.

Step 11

Add avocado slices, almonds (or sesame seeds), and grilled tofu.

Step 12

Make the Dressing:In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
