Ingredients

• 14 oz firm tofu
• 1 large grapefruit
• 1 ripe avocado
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 1 lime
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu: Drain the tofu and press it between two plates or with a tofu press for at least 10 minutes to remove excess liquid. Pat dry and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 2

Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Marinate the tofu: Place the tofu slices in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the tofu and let it sit for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even coating.

Step 4

Make the salsa: Peel and segment the grapefruit, removing any membranes. Dice the avocado and finely chop the red onion. Combine the grapefruit, avocado, red onion, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and gently toss to combine. Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat the grill: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the tofu: Remove the tofu from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill the tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until you see grill marks and the tofu is heated through.

Step 7

Assemble the dish: Transfer the grilled tofu to a serving plate. Top with the grapefruit and avocado salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Tofu with Grapefruit and Avocado Salsa!
