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.
