📝 Preparation Steps
1
Salt the tofu
Salt, a sprinkle
2
Cut the tofu package into even, 1" cubes. Evenly sprinkle all sides of the tofu pieces with salt to brine. Place on a wire rack or paper towel. Let it rest for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes to season and draw out some moisture.

Make the dressing

Meanwhile, add all miso dressing ingredients to a container or squirt bottle and shake until emulsified. Taste and adjust as needed.
5
Crisp the tofu
6
Preheat an oven broiler on the high setting. Use a paper towel to dry off the exterior of the tofu pieces. Add them to a lightly oiled sheet pan, and spritz or toss with a bit more oil to just barely coat. Broil for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes, flip, and broil for another ⏱️ 5-7 minutes until well colored and crispy. Alternatively, use an air fryer at 450°F/232°C and go for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until crispy.

Assemble & serve
8
Add all remaining salad components to a bowl, including a portion of crispy tofu. The ratios are up to you, but equal parts of the tofu, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber make for a satisfying & texturally interesting meal. Toss or drizzle with the miso dressing and garnish as desired. Serve & enjoy.
