We're smashing together two traditional salads: three bean salad and Greek salad to make a three bean Greek salad! A little homemade lemon dressing gives these beans and veggies a nice flavor pop. The perfect salad to bring to all the barbecues and picnics this summer!

Tofu Salad is an easy meal absolutely full of flavor! Fresh romaine is tossed with deliciously marinated tofu, crisp cucumbers, juicy cherry tomatoes, avocado and crunchy almonds to create this incredible salad. Top with a homemade lemon herb dressing for a bright, summery dish that's sure to keep you satisfied!

Tofu Salad

block of tofu

balsamic vinegar

water

maple syrup

salt

garlic clove,

herbs

salt and black pepper,

cucumber

cherry tomatoes, halved

avocado, diced or thinly sliced

almonds

Press your tofu (see my full guide HERE on pressing tofu) and cut into your desired shape. I like larger cubes when serving in a salad but really anything works well.

Make the marinade for the tofu by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic, water, maple syrup, garlic, and salt in a shallow dish. Put the tofu in and shake gently to coat the tofu in the marinade. Let sit for 15-30 minutes.

To cook the tofu, you can bake it in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping halfway. OR you can pan fry it, which is my favorite, by removing it from the marinade and putting it in a large skillet over medium heat. Flip every few minutes and cook until it’s lightly browned on all sides.

Whisk together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside until ready to use.

Make the salad by layering in a large bowl the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado and almonds. Pour on the dressing and toss gently to combine. Top with the tofu and any additional toppings.

If making for meal prep, I suggest leaving off the avocado and simply add it right before serving or it will go brown.

I can't believe how good this salad is! Super easy to make and very delicious!

How to make a simple massaged kale salad with lemon garlic dressing and dress it up with tons of different optional sauces and add-ins!

Simple Massaged Kale Salad With Lemon Dressing (+ Variations)

oz kale leaves (stems removed. Curly or Tuscan will work)

lemon (juiced (fresh not bottled))

tsp salt

tsp pepper

Wash the kale well and dry it either in a salad spinner or pat it dry with a kitchen towel.

There are two main ways to cut kale and remove the thick stem (debone the kale).By hand: use two fingers to squeeze where the thickest part of the stem is, then slowly move your hands down the stem, and the kale leaves should fall off. By Knife: run the knife as close to the side of the stem to remove the leaves.If you prefer, you can chop the leaves into even smaller pieces or tear them by hand, though this isn&#039;t necessary.

Step 1: Cut the kale

Mince the garlic into a small bowl and add the juice of half a lemon. Then add the salt, pepper, and olive oil and mix well.

Step 2: Prepare the lemon dressing

Add the lemon garlic kale salad dressing to the bowl with the kale leaves and then use clean hands to grab handfuls of the kale leaves and squeeze, massaging (squeezing and pinching) them until the kale is soft and tender. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Massage the kale

Once massaged, allow the kale to sit for just a few minutes while preparing any toppings and add-ins. This will allow it to macerate and further tenderize the kale.For the lemony kale pomegranate salad, I added some fresh pomegranate seeds, flaked almonds, and then topped with some Air Fryer baked cauliflower.

Step 4: Serve the massaged kale salad

Once prepared, any leftover kale salad with lemon dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days - however, the leaves will become softer/more wilted as it sits, so it sometimes only lasts 1-2 days.If you want to make the kale salad 3-5 days in advance, then prepare the leaves in advance but only add the dressing the day before or on the day (the acid will break down the leaves without the need to massage the kale).

A fresh and zesty lemon dressing with plenty of lemon flavour. All natural and delicious, this simple dressing is easy to make and benefits from the natural flavour-enhancing properties of lemon juice.

Lemon Dressing

lemon (unwaxed)

tbsp extra virgin olive oil (double the quantity of lemon juice)

salt and black pepper (to taste)

Roll the lemon to release the juices. Zest with a microplane grater into a large clean jar with a tight fitting lid.

Cut the lemon in half and juice. You may want to measure the juice before adding it to the zest in the jar.

Add the olive oil – about twice the volume of the lemon juice. Then add the remaining ingredients (mustard, honey and seasoning). Put the lid on tight and shake well to make an emulsion.

If you prefer, you can decant the dressing into an attractive bottle to serve. Allow to stand for half an hour before serving to allow the flavours to combine. Store leftovers in the fridge but serve at room temperature.

I love all things lemon, going to make this tonight.  I know it will be delicious.

Caramelized Lemony Dressing

lemon (seeds removed,

olive oil (divided)

honey (your favorite kind, more

kosher salt (to taste)

black pepper (few grinds)

Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat.

Place lemon slices into the pan and cook lemons until browned on both sides. Approximate cooking time is 7-8 minutes, 5-6 minutes on the first side, and 1-2 minutes on the other side. Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your lemon slices. Be sure to keep an eye on the lemons as they are cooking to make sure they are browning and not burning!

Remove the lemons and place them on a cutting board.  Scrape out all of the brown bits and oil from the bottom of the pan (because they’re packed with tons of flavor!) and place them in a medium-sized bowl.

Before chopping the lemons, let cool slightly and set aside 1-2 lemon slices to use in your salad as garnish, if desired. Then finely chop the remaining lemon slices. It’s best to chop them by hand until they’re in itty bitty pieces, creating somewhat of a paste.

Place chopped lemons into the reserved medium-sized bowl with the scraped oil and browned bits from the pan, and add honey, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper. Combine ingredients together with a spoon or spatula. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

If not using the dressing immediately, store in an air-tight container and refrigerate.  Let come to room temp before using.

I made this tonight and it was great! I will be making it again:)

I did give it a 5 star rating. Not sure why it didn't take. Trying again. And I agree, people think plant-based eating has to be difficult. It doesn't. Thanks, Shane!

Sounds like what I needed right now.  Thanks so much and I also love simple recipes.  If I look at a recipe and it has too many ingredients I immediately pass it by.  I'm older and have been cooking a long time and enjoy simple ingredients.  This recipe is perfect.

I poured this dressing over shredded cabbage and carrots for a light and tangy coleslaw! So good!

Greatly appreciate both the recipe and the suggestions!
THANK YOU SHANE!
Best wishes.

I used half regular mustard and half Dijon and added a tiny bit more maple syrup. Talk about delicious! This is my favorite salad dressing! Thank you, Shane.

God I love your oil free recipes so much! I LOVE how you don’t put oil free in the title and then include tahini or nuts as an ingredient like so many others! Because tahini and nuts and nut butter substitutes have just as much fat as oil so why bother claiming oil free? But LOVE that you don’t. I just made the oil free marinara sauce and it’s sssooso delicious. With summer coming up I’m so excited to have found this oil free lemon dressing—and even more excited that it doesn’t have tahini in it! Thank you!

I made this recipe today for our salads for lunch.  It’s delicious, simple, and refreshing.  It will be one of my go to’s!  Shane, you’ve done it again.  Now, can you develop a recipe for a no oil/dairy molasses vinaigrette?  TIA!

Oh Snap!!!

It is stunningly delicious..
And it's creamy?
Whoa..

Excellent dressing! I served it with your Mediterranean chickpea and quinoa salad. It was so good! I love that it was so healthy
