Ingredients

4 servings

For the tofu

1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

For the dressing

3 tbsp tahini
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp raw honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
¼ tsp ground turmeric
2–3 tbsp water
¼ tsp salt

For the salad

1 large bunch curly or lacinato kale (about 8 cups), stems removed and leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
2 cups purple cabbage, thinly shredded
1 cup shredded carrots
¼ cup dry-roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Press the tofu: wrap the block in several layers of paper towels, set it on a cutting board, and place a heavy skillet on top for 10 minutes. Cut the pressed tofu into 3/4-inch cubes.
2
In a large mixing bowl, toss the tofu cubes with the turmeric, ginger, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
