Tofu Avocado Salad with Fresh Herbs

I rarely post avocado recipes because I usually enjoy it as plain avocado toast. But one day, I was making toast and ended up with half of an avocado and no bread. So I had to improvise, and this is how this marvelous tofu avocado salad was born.

This tofu avocado salad is full of green goodness, healthy fat, protein, and a ton of flavor. The texture is amazing, and you can’t stop eating it! It can be a perfect lunch or a light dinner.

Lightly press and pat dry tofu with paper towels. Dice it into 1/2cm cubes and put it into the mixing bowl. Add nutritional yeast, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well and set aside while you’re preparing the vegetables.

Dice the cucumber as you diced the tofu. Roughly chop the arugula and finely chop the spring onion and the dill. Add the vegetables to the tofu.

Lastly, cut the avocado in half and remove the seed. Make horizontal and vertical incisions about 1/2cm apart. Scoop out the flesh and add it to the salad.

Mix the salad until combined. Serve and enjoy!
