Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, cut into 1-inch thick slices
½ cup balsamic vinaigrette
1 egg white
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1 mango, diced
1 (6 ounce) package baby spinach salad mix
1 small red onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Place tofu slices onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid. Cut each slice into 1-inch cubes.
  • Mix vinaigrette, egg white, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar together in a large bowl. Fold tofu gently into the marinade and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Arrange marinated tofu in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, reserving marinade.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn tofu and drizzle with remaining marinade. Bake until just browned, about 10 minutes more.
  • Combine mushrooms, mango, baby spinach, and red onion in a large salad bowl. Arrange a serving of salad on a plate; place a portion of baked tofu on top. Repeat with remaining salad and tofu.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover balsamic vinegar. I always have a bottle of balsamic vinegar in my pantry, so this salad is a great way to use it up.

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add some chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.

The tofu was a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would have preferred a softer tofu.

This salad was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter dressing.

The tofu was a bit bland. I think it would have been better if it had been marinated in the balsamic glaze before cooking.

This salad was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The tofu was perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior. The balsamic glaze added a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that complemented the tofu and vegetables perfectly. Th
