Apple and ginger salad with tofu recipe
A fresh and fragrant dressed salad made simply from tofu, lemon, dried figs, sweet chilli, ginger, and a little fresh parsley.
Tip: the lemons will yield more juice if you wash them under warm running water and roll them back and forth on the work surface a few times, while pressing down gently.
We like to use Jonagold apples for their aromatic, sweet tartness but the choice of apples is a matter of personal taste.
