- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (or honey/syrup)
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (or honey/syrup)
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the special soy dressing that will elevate your salad. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of plum extract, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk everything together with a whisk or spoon until well combined. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
Now, let’s get the star ingredients ready: avocado and tofu! Preparing fresh, quality ingredients is half the battle for a delicious salad.
Step 3
Rinse the half block of tofu under cold water and pat it dry. Then, cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 cm thick, such as cubes or triangles. Cutting them not too thin will help them maintain their shape on the salad.
Step 4
Arrange the prepared tofu pieces attractively in your serving bowl or plate. Tofu is an excellent source of protein that adds a satisfying heartiness to the salad.
Step 5
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, peel it, and then slice it into thick pieces, about 1.5 cm thick. It’s best to cut the avocado thickly so it doesn’t get mashed. A ripe avocado will yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
Step 6
Artfully arrange the thick slices of avocado over the tofu, perhaps overlapping them slightly. Doesn’t the combination of creamy avocado and mild tofu sound delicious?
Step 7
Now, generously drizzle the prepared soy dressing over the avocado and tofu. It’s important to ensure the dressing coats the ingredients evenly.
Step 8
Finally, thinly slice the fresh scallions diagonally and sprinkle them over the salad for a garnish. The crisp texture and fresh aroma of the scallions will add another layer of flavor, and they look beautiful too!
Step 9
Finish by sprinkling a generous amount of sesame seeds for an added nutty flavor. And there you have it – a satisfying and hearty Avocado Tofu Salad, ready to enjoy!
Step 10
This incredibly simple Avocado Tofu Salad is perfect for a busy morning, a light lunch, or a healthy dinner. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
