Vegan Tofu in Vinaigrette Dressing

This Vegan Tofu in Vinaigrette Dressing makes a great addition to salads, buffets, and especially as part of a tapas meal.

If serving as a snack or as part of a buffet, I like to place some cocktail sticks on the side so you can pick up the tasty cubes and nibble with drinks!

This recipe is a variation of my Mushrooms Vinaigrette (Vinagreta de Champiñones) in my Vegan Tapas ebook, which is free to subscribers.

And this dish is so versatile that you can use it to spruce up other ingredients like adding to sliced peppers and olives for a different take on a Greek Salad ????

It’s a great little dish on its own for tapas but you can also add it to a plate of sliced tomatoes and top with chopped red onions – yummy!

Although making the actual dish only takes 10 minutes, this dish needs several hours. First to press the tofu and then for the tofu to absorb the dressing. Therefore, it is a great dish to make ahead of time when you are planning to serve several dishes for a get-together with friends and family.

How To Make Vegan Tofu in Vinaigrette Dressing

Equipment you will need

Tofu press – or something heavy to sit on top of the tofu

sharp knife

Measuring spoons

Garlic mincer

Citrus juicer

Whisk

Bowl

Step 1 – Press the tofu for several hours or overnight.

You can press the tofu by putting it on kitchen paper towels, with a heavy book, or two on top, but I like to leave it in the fridge overnight so I can get as much liquid out as possible, and a tofu press is easy and hygienic to use and gets far more liquid out than placing a heavy book on top.

Step 2 – Cut the tofu into cubes by halving the block and then slicing as shown below.

Step 3 – Place all the ingredients in a bowl except for the tofu and lightly whisk to form a dressing.

Step 4 – Now add the tofu and gently stir to coat all of the tofu cubes. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight if possible, stirring occasionally to ensure the tofu can evenly absorb the vinaigrette dressing.

Step 5 – When ready to serve, transfer to a serving dish and serve with salad or as part of a tapas meal.
