Step 4
Add the crumbled tofu to the mixture and gently fold until the tofu is evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a bit more lemon juice or salt if desired.
Step 6
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
