Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed

2 cups mixed salad greens (a blend of arugula, spinach, and kale)

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Begin by cutting the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes, sprinkling them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, turning the cubes occasionally until they achieve a golden, crispy exterior. Once cooked, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey or agave syrup, along with a dash of salt and pepper. Whisk until all ingredients are well-blended. Taste your dressing and adjust the seasoning according to your preference, adding more salt, pepper, or sweetness as desired.

      Assemble the Salad Bowl: In a large salad bowl, start by layering the mixed salad greens as your fresh base. Layer in the sautéed tofu, followed by the sliced peaches, diced avocado, thinly sliced red onion, and toasted nuts to add a delightful crunch.

        Add Cheese and Dressing: If you opt for it, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for a creamy addition. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly across the assembled ingredients, ensuring an even coating.

          Garnish and Serve: Carefully toss the salad to combine all elements gently without mashing the avocado. For an aromatic touch, garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves. Serve immediately for a refreshing and vibrant meal.
