Ingredients
Tofu
- 1 12-oz block firm tofu 350 g
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 30 mL
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce 30 mL
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Salad
- 1 large head romaine lettuce or 2 small heads
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 30 mL
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 to 3 ears of corn
- ½ cup chopped tomatoes
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ½ cup homemade kefir ranch dressing
Instructions
- Tofu: Press tofu dry with paper towels and slice in half through the middle to form two thin slabs. In a shallow container large enough to fit the tofu, stir together oil, soy, garlic powder, and paprika, then add tofu slabs. Cover tofu with the marinade and let soak for 15 minutes while you heat up the grill.
- Prep: Cut romaine heads in half lengthwise. Combine oil and lemon juice, and liberally brush onto the romaine and corn. Cut tomatoes, crumble feta, and mix together kefir ranch dressing if using.
- Grill: Over medium-high heat, grill corn (10 minutes, turning often), tofu (10 minutes, flipping once), and romaine (5 minutes, flipping once).
- Assemble: Serve immediately, with sliced tofu, cut corn, tomatoes, feta, and ranch dressing.
