- ¼ tsp salt
For the salad

Press the tofu: wrap the block in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels, set a heavy skillet or cutting board on top, and let it press for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.

While the tofu presses, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, capers, parsley, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl until emulsified. Set the vinaigrette aside.
