Grilled Tofu on Mixed Greens with Orange Hoisin Sauce Dressing

This recipe is a wonderful way to prepare tofu as a light main course with savory citrus and tamarind flavors. The easiest way to prepare this is using one of the new electric countertop grills. It can also be prepared using an outdoor barbecue or inside on a stovetop grill pan.

Ingredients:

15 ounces firm or extra-firm tofu
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon What You Do With Tofu!® Orange Hoisin Sauce
4 cups baby salad greens or frisée mix
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 pint ripe, cherry tomatoes, halved
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 medium orange seeded, sliced into half circles, for garnish
1 small bunch seedless, red grapes (optional)

Directions:
  1. Cut tofu block diagonally to form two triangles. Then, turn on the side and cut width-wise to create 8-¼ inch thick triangles. Place on paper towels, press lightly to remove moisture; place on plate and marinate in ¼ cup of orange What You Do With Tofu!® Orange Hoisin Sauce for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix salad greens, red onion, tomatoes and yellow pepper together; arrange the mixture in the center of dinner plates and set aside.
  3. Heat the countertop grill, if it has a non-stick surface there is no need to oil first. Place tofu on the grill and close the top with slight pressure. Grill until tofu is heated and grill marks are visible, 3-4 minutes. Remove from grill to marinating plate; repeat with remaining tofu.
  4. Whisk together 1 tablespoon of What You Do With Tofu!® Orange Hoisin Sauce, canola oil and lemon juice to create a light dressing for salad.
  5. Attractively arrange tofu over salad; drizzle with dressing and garnish with orange and grapes.

Other ingredients that taste great with this:
  1. Cucumbers
  2. Sliced almonds or walnut pieces
  3. Carrots, shredded
  4. Jicama, julienned
  5. Belgian endive or watercress

Helpful tips:
  1. The more water you get out of the tofu, the more flavor will be absorbed from the sauce.
  2. The longer you marinate, the more intense the flavor.
  3. If you don't have an indoor grill machine, use your barbecue and brush the grill first with some oil to prevent from sticking.
