Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 2 Nori sheets
• 1 ripe Avocado
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 small Cucumber
• 4 small Radish
• 100 grams Mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and lettuce)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, slice it into thin, sashimi-like pieces.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the nori sheets for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat, cut into thin strips, and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and julienne the carrot and cucumber. Thinly slice the radishes.

Step 4

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it thinly to create sashimi-like slices.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and lemon juice. Grate the fresh ginger and add it to the dressing.

Step 6

In a serving bowl, arrange the mixed greens as a base. Lay the tofu slices, avocado slices, julienned carrot and cucumber, and radish slices on top artistically.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy ginger dressing over the salad.

Step 8

Sprinkle the toasted nori strips and sesame seeds over the top.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a refreshing and light vegetarian dish.
