Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 cups of fresh spinach
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Press the tofu for 30 minutes to remove excess water.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut the red bell peppers into slices and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until slightly charred.
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and toss with half of the vinaigrette.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, mangoes, red onion, cilantro, and the remaining vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
- In a large frying pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side.
- To assemble the bowl, add a bed of the spinach and mango mixture to the bottom of a serving dish. Top with the grilled red peppers and crispy tofu. Drizzle with a little more vinaigrette, if desired.
