Cooking Directions

  • In a small pan, toast the cayenne, garlic powder, cinnamon, and paprika until fragrant (about a minute).
  • While the spices are toasting, mix the sriracha, soy sauce, and canola oil, then add in the toasted spices.
  • Season with salt and pour over the tofu in a large zip lock bag. Marinade in the fridge for at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly.
  • Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat and oil it well to prevent the tofu from sticking. Once hot, place the tofu on and grill until thoroughly colored, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat.
  • Mix the salad mix with the walnuts, raisins, and vinaigrette. Toss well and serve on plates (or arrange in a serving bowl). Fan out the tofu on top and serve.
