Crispy Baked Tofu With Pineapple, Avocado & Corn Salad #A1 image

A.1. Original Sauce Recipe Contest Entry. Who says A1 can't be used in meatless cuisine? It may be a steak sauce, but it happens to be vegan. It adds wonderful flavor to baked tofu, and pulls double duty as part of the tangy pineapple salad dressing. A1 truly gives this salad a unique and lively flavor.
