Zesty Arugula Salad with Grilled Tofu & Creamy Avocado
10 mins
Easy
This salad balances the peppery snap of fresh arugula with the buttery richness of ripe avocado and smoky, golden-brown tofu. It is a vibrant, protein-packed meal that feels light yet deeply satisfying.
A plant-based power meal featuring firm tofu, healthy fats from avocado, and a bright lemon-tahini dressing. Perfect for a nutrient-dense lunch or light dinner.
For the best texture, toss the arugula just before serving. This keeps the greens crisp and prevents them from wilting under the weight of the avocado and tofu.
