cherry tomatoes

avocado

radishes

green onions

Sesame seeds,

Carrot Ginger Dressing, Sesame Ginger Dressing

Make the Baked Tofu (takes approximately 40 minutes: open this recipe in a separate browser tab. If desired, make in advance and refrigerate until serving; warm in the oven to make it crispy again.).

Meanwhile, make the dressing: Carrot Ginger Dressing, Sesame Ginger Dressing or Tahini Dressing.

Prep the veggies: chop the lettuce and greens. Slice the tomatoes in half. Cut the avocado into slices. Thinly slice the radishes and green onions.

Serve: Place the greens divided between shallow bowls. Top with the vegetables and the baked tofu. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Made this salad today using sesame ginger dressing. Because I have a terrible oven, I just fried the well-drained tofu in a skillet on hot temperature with a mixture of water, half of the sesame ginger dressing, and some starch. The nutty flavors soaked really nicely in the tofu. 

What I liked is that it was healthy but had many calories - I do a lot of sports and generally vegan salads do not fill me up sufficiently - but this was amazing! I just threw in a lot of tahini, sesame oil and avocado. This way, it could even be a standalone dinner, although I combined it with spicy Chinese fried potato today. 

What I especially liked was the "calm", nutty flavor of the dressing. I really love the tahini nuttiness and how it balances out with the other flavors. 

One thing I will change next time is to make the salad sweeter. I was thinking of adding more honey to the dressing. Alternatively, I could throw in a small can of sweetcorn. What would you recommend?
