Avocado, tofu and edamame salad with sesame dressing

Method

  1. Put the edamame in a bowl, cover with boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and cool under the cold tap.
  2. Drain the tofu, pat it dry and cut it into small cubes. Cut the cucumber into chunks, separate the lettuce leaves and slice the spring onions.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the sesame oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  4. Add the tofu to the dressing and turn it over so it takes on the flavour.
  5. Halve the avocado, take out the stone and slice the flesh.
  6. Add the lettuce, cucumber and edamame to the bowl and toss. Divide between two plates, top with the avocado and finish with the sesame seeds and spring onions.

Tip Add the avocado last so it stays green. The tofu can marinate in the dressing for longer if you have the time.
