Instructions

To Prepare The Cajun Tofu

Remove tofu from the package and discard the liquid. Wrap tofu in a clean dish towel or paper towel and place it on a plate.
Place heavy objects on the top of the tofu. You can use a cast-iron skillet, a stack of books, or cutting board. Wait 20 minutes, flip over, and wait another 20 minutes.
Slice tofu into 1 or 2-inch cubes.
Place tofu in a bowl and toss with Bragg's Liquid Aminos and Cajun or Creole seasoning.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned tofu and cook until all sides are golden brown and crisp. You might need extra oil. Remove from the heat and set

To Assemble The Salad

Place chopped lettuce in a bowl, arrange tomato, avocado, artichoke hearts, olives, red onion, green onion, and tofu cubes.
Drizzle with your favorite salad dressing and serve immediately.
