    Mixed Greens Salad with Avocado, Apples, and Baked Tofu

    Published: Mar 5, 2013 · Updated: Apr 6, 2022 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This luscious salad adds substance to a meal when served with light main dishes, and makes a nice at-home lunch on weekends and holidays. This is a tasty salad to stuff into a pita or wrap up. Or, for a light meal, serve with soup and fresh bread.

    Serves: 4

    • 4 ounces baked tofu (half of an 8-ounce package), diced or cut into strips
    • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
    • 3 to 4 ounces mixed baby greens, or as desired
    • 1 medium-large firm, ripe avocado, peeled and diced
    • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
    • Juice of ½ lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
    • Natural dressing of your choice, or any
      homemade salad dressing of your choice (see Note)

    Combine the tofu, bell pepper, and lettuce in a serving bowl.

    Just before serving, toss the avocado and apple dice with the lemon juice in another bowl, then add to the salad and toss together.

    Moisten with the dressing of your choice, then serve, passing additional dressing around.

    NOTE: I especially like this salad with French Dressing or Tangy Tahini Dressing.

      Nikki, you can try VK's French Dressing: http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/french-dressing/ — you can reduce or eliminate the amount of olive oil for a lower-fat version.
