Ingredients

  • 280g firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1cm cubes, we used The Tofoo Co Naked Organic Extra Firm Tofu
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g chopped kale, we used Ocado Sliced Kale
  • 1 little gem lettuce, roughly chopped, we used Ocado Little Gem Lettuce
  • 150g smoked mackerel, flaked, we used M&S Hot Smoked Scottish Mackerel
  • 100g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed or grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
  • 20g Parmesan, finely grated
  • ½ lemon, juiced

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Toss the tofu cubes and olive oil in a baking tray and cook for 20 mins, tossing halfway, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

  • Step 2

    While the tofu is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, garlic, chopped capers, half of the parmesan, lemon juice and enough water to make a drizzle consistency.

  • Step 3

    Combine the kale and little gem lettuce in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss everything together until the leaves are well coated.

  • Step 4

    Divide the dressed leaves between two bowls. Top with the flaked smoked mackerel, the golden tofu croutons, and a sprinkling of the finely grated parmesan.
