To make the tofu extra crispy in this tofu salad recipe, we recommend draining some of the liquid and cooking it in a generous amount of oil at high heat. It takes a little extra time, but it's worth it! -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

I made this salad for lunch today and it was really good. The tofu was firm and flavorful, and the dressing was light and tangy. I added some chopped avocado and it was even better. I will definitely be making this again.
