Ingredients

150g extra-firm tofu, drained and cubed
2 large handfuls of kale, massaged
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp tahini
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic paste
2 tbsp water (to thin dressing)
Salt and pepper

Method

Pan-fry tofu with a pinch of salt over high heat for 5-6 minutes until golden and crisp on all sides.
Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, nutritional yeast, and water to form a dressing.
Toss massaged kale in dressing, top with tofu, season, and serve.

Tip: Massaging kale with a tiny pinch of salt for 60 seconds breaks down its fibres and makes it far more palatable raw.

Highlights: Exceptionally high in vitamin K and vitamin C.
