Easy Layered Tofu Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This layered tofu salad is a fresh, easy, no-cook option for the warmer months or any time of year. It’s also highly customizable with different choices for protein, vegetables, and toppings. It works well for a lighter main dish or increase the servings for a potluck side salad.

Variations

Protein – Canned tuna, salmon, or chicken work great!
Vegetables – The standard veggies are lettuce, tomato, and green onion. Bean sprouts and cucumbers are a great option for added crunch and flavor.
Toppings – I usually use furikake and bonito flakes. You can use sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, or chopped jalapenos.
