Ingredients

  • 2 ears of corn
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 block (14 ounces) of extra firm tofu cut into 1” x 1” cubes
  • 2 heads of butter lettuce
  • 2 medium bell peppers any color, diced

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Boil for 7-9 minutes, remove the corn from the water and set aside to cool.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the oil. Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes (until golden brown). If you like it extra crispy, flip and cook for 5 more minutes.
  3. While the tofu cooks, cut the corn off the cob and combine with the lettuce and diced red pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, dijon mustard and honey and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the tofu and dressing to the salad and enjoy.
