Notes
Tip from my kitchen: pat the tofu dry before baking and give it enough room on the tray, so it crisps up all over instead of going soft. You can prepare the oven vegetables and the dressing ahead, but only toss in the lamb's lettuce just before serving so the delicate leaves stay fresh. A handful of roasted sunflower seeds adds a lovely extra crunch.
