Instructions

  • Place the tofu in an ovenproof dish
  • For the marinade finely chop the herbs and mix all ingredients
  • Cover the tofu with it, marinade as please, I would marinade it for at least 1-2 hours – you can also marinade it overnight (covered in the fridge)
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F)
  • Put all ingredients for the pistachio crust into a mixer and roughly chop them
  • Cover the tofu with it and add 2-3 Tbsp of the marinade
  • Add the rest of the pistachio mixture inside the dish, it will later be used as a topping
  • Bake the tofu for about 20 minutes

Asparagus:

  • Wash the asparagus, cut off the hard ends and chop it into 4cm (2“) large pieces
  • Heat up the olive oil in a pan, add the asparagus and roast for about 7-10 minutes
  • Deglaze with lemon juice and sugar, season with salt and pepper – place aside

Dressing:

  • Chop the herbs and the spring onions
  • Put all ingredients into a jar and shake well
  • Alternatively mix them well with a mixer or hand blender

Salad:

  • Wash the salad and chop the vegetables
  • Serve everything in a large bowl
  • Add tofu and asparagus

Notes

You can add warm or cold tofu to the salad, both tastes delicious.
