I love everything about this! the freshness, the different textures, the balance of carbs, proteins and fats: Just a fabulous mix! I added some fresh cherry tomatoes to give it some more juicy crunch and volume :)

Yum! This salad is nice and filling. Love the dressing. I air fried my tofu for a few min after baking it, and added some salad greens. I like how easy the salad part is to customize with whatever you have on hand.
