About

While requiring a bit of forethought, this refreshingly crunchy salad is more than worth it on a hot summer day. You can even skip cooking the tofu if you can’t bear to turn on the stove. In lieu of a traditional dressing, we drizzle it with an avocado-ginger aïoli. Have leftovers? Stuff them into spring roll wrappers or collard leaves.
