Ingredients

• 14 oz extra firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 large avocado
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 0.5 cup vegan bacon bits
• 1 15 oz can canned chickpeas
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup vegan ranch dressing
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the tofu cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Step 5

While the tofu is baking, prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 6

Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly.

Step 7

In a large bowl or on a platter, lay down a bed of mixed salad greens.

Step 8

Top the greens with rows of baked tofu, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, corn kernels, vegan bacon bits, chickpeas, and red onion.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the vegan ranch dressing with lemon juice to add freshness and tang.

Step 10

Drizzle the dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for guests to add as desired.
