Refreshing Crispy Tofu Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette

Crispy tofu salad with a fruity strawberry vinaigrette makes for a light, but delicious meal on its own. It can also be an excellent side dish to compliment any meal.

We simply added tomatoes to ours, and that was enough. However feel free to add any other fresh vegetables, fruits, or nuts to the salad. It will be amazing however you decide to build it!
