Salad Ingredients
- 200g Tofu
- 1/4 Cucumber
- 2 Kale leaves
- 2 Chicory heads
- 1/4 head Cabbage
- 1 head Lettuce
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
Balsamic Dressing
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently pat the tofu dry with paper towels. Then, cut it into bite-sized cubes, about 2cm each.
Step 2
Place the cubed tofu in the air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the tofu and cook for another 10 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy. This method ensures a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt until well combined. This creates a flavorful balsamic dressing.
Step 4
Wash the prepared vegetables (cucumber, kale, chicory, cabbage, lettuce, romaine lettuce) thoroughly under running water. After washing, drain them well and tear them into bite-sized pieces by hand. (You can also thinly slice or julienne the cucumber if preferred).
Step 5
Keep the deliciously air-fried tofu warm and ready.
Step 6
Arrange the fresh, prepared vegetables attractively in a large salad bowl or on a plate. Then, artfully place the golden-brown, air-fried tofu on top of the greens.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle the homemade balsamic dressing evenly over the salad. Your healthy and delicious Air Fryer Tofu Salad is ready to be enjoyed immediately!
