Steps:
- Press the tofu (just wrap the tofu in a clean towel and apply a steady weight to squeeze out the moisture). This step is optional, but your tofu will be tastier if you do.
- Mix all the tofu marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl (soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, and onion powder) until well combined.
- Incorporate the tofu cubes and let them marinate covered in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. If you let them marinate for a longer period of time, they will have a more intense flavor.
- Drain the tofu but don't discard the marinade. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a skillet and sautée the tofu over medium-high heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the marinade liquid into a bowl with the cornstarch and mix until well combined. Pour the sauce into the skillet you had the tofu and cook until it thickens. Set aside.
- To assemble the tofu salad, add the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, and avocado, and sesame seeds to a large mixing bowl.
- Then add the cooked marinated tofu, pour the dressing over the top, and toss it together.
- Serve your tofu salad immediately.
- Best when fresh, keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days (dressing separate from the salad).

TOFU SALAD - EASY VEGAN - MAKE AHEAD (MOOSEWOOD)
Courtesy of the original Moosewood Cookbook. Love that you can make it ahead and just pull it out of the fridge at serving time. I'm serving this at a birthday party buffet to make sure there is something substantial for vegetarians/vegans in the group. The book recommends stuffing this salad into pita bread to make it a meal, which I've never tried but sounds great. Prep time includes the minimum 2 hours for marinading. Serves 6 as the main attraction, but more if it's a side dish. Enjoy!

QUICK AND EASY TOFU SALAD
This is a super easy tofu salad that tastes great! We always keep a package of tofu in the fridge for a quick meal. Also good as leftovers to allow the tofu to soak up the seasonings.

CURRIED TOFU SALAD
This is a favorite lunch food. Similar to egg salad but w/o the egg. Can be served as a sandwich or as a dip w/ vege crudites. I've seen similar recipes -- this is my favorite way to make it!! Enjoy!!

Steps:
- To press liquid out of tofu: place in a flat-bottomed sieve, put a plate on top and weight it down w/ something heavy-- after about an hour you'll probably have about 1/4- 1/2 cup of liquid pressed out.
- Chop tofu, not too small-- I use an wire egg slicer.
- Combine tofu, celery& onion.
- Add mayo, curry, lemon juice, and salt&pepper.
- Gently mix.
- Can use immediately but will be more flavorful if left in refridge for several hours to overnight.
- Great as a sandwich filling (similar to egg salad) or as a dip for vege crudites.
- Enjoy!
