👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Press the firm tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into 1/2-inch cubes. You can optionally pan-fry or bake the tofu for a crispier texture.
2. Prepare the vegetables: wash and dry the mixed salad greens, slice the cucumber, shred the carrot, and thinly slice the red bell pepper.
3. For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, gluten-free tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, grated ginger, minced garlic, and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl until well combined.
4. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced red bell pepper.
5. Add the prepared tofu cubes to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad.
6. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
