I should patent this salad. Takes about 10 minutes to make if you have lettuce and tofu prepped (that takes about 30 minutes weekly…).
Conversation
Lettuce, carrots, tomato, cucumber, pickled kalamata olives (store bought), pickled jalapenos (fresh pickled at home), baked diced seasoned tofu, avocado. Dressing is just lemon juice, salt and pepper, I don't like fancy dressings.

The key is that I buy 3 heads of fresh lettuce every couple of weeks at the farmer's market, and immediately wash, chop, and spin-dry them, and bag in a large ziplock with some paper towels. That's what makes the salad -- really good and fresh/crisp lettuce as the base.

For the protein, egg or feta or blue cheese work as well as tofu taste wise.

Replying to
I like tempeh (wife makes thin strips crisp-baked into a bacon-like thing for use in this salad), but overall prefer tofu, egg, or cheese here. Tempeh is a little too dry, and works better for me in curries/gravies.
