Grilled Tofu with a Mediterranean Chopped Salad
Recipe from
EatingWell
Mild-flavored tofu benefits from this intensely flavored lemon juice-and-garlic-based marinade. If you have the time, marinate the tofu early in the day (up to 8 hours before serving) so it can absorb all the flavors.

Mediterranean Chopped Salad, (recipe follows)see savings
Directions
1.
Preheat grill.
2.
Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this mixture for basting.
3.
Drain and rinse tofu; pat dry. Cut the block crosswise into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices and place in a shallow glass dish. Add remaining marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 8 hours.
4.
Meanwhile, make Mediterranean Chopped Salad.
5.
Lightly oil the grill rack (hold a piece of oil-soaked paper towel with tongs and rub it over the grate). Drain the tofu, discarding marinade. Grill the tofu over medium-high heat, basting occasionally with reserved lemon juice mixture, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side (see Tip). Serve immediately, topped with the salad.
Tip:
To make attractive grill marks on the tofu, rotate it 90 degrees halfway through grilling for a cross-hatch pattern.
