Ingredients
  

Spiced Shredded Tofu
  • 1 12-oz block extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
Salad
  • 2 ears corn on the cob
  • ½ tbsp neutral oil
  • ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 3-4 ripe peaches, cut into cubes (can sub nectarines)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 roma tomatoes, seeds removed, chopped
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced and seeds removed
  • 1 large lime, juiced
  • 1 cup cilantro, minced
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Make the shredded tofu: Using the large hole side of a box grater, shred the block of tofu into a large box and set aside. Add the soy sauce and toss to combine, then add the nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder and smoked paprika. Transfer to an air fryer basket (line with parchment if it has holes) and air fry for 20 minutes at 400F until golden and slightly crisped.
  2. Char the corn: Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the corn. Let cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir in the Old Bay. Continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred and a deep golden brown in some spots. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. Prep the veggies: Chop the peaches and all remaining veg and add to a large salad bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice and toss everything with the pepper and salt, taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. Assemble the salad: Once the shredded tofu and corn have cooled to near room temperature, add them to the salad and toss to combine. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Eat on its own, serve with tortilla chips, or scoop onto a bed of salad greens. Enjoy!
