Cooking Steps

Add sesame seeds to a shallow bowl. Set aside.
Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over.
Season tofu with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then tofu. (NOTE: Cook tofu in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side.
Using tongs and working one piece at a time, transfer tofu to the plate with sesame seeds. Coat one side with sesame seeds, then transfer tofu, seed side up, to an unlined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tofu.
Roast in the middle of the oven until golden, 8-10 min.

Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1/2-inch pieces.

Add tahini sauce, mayo, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and half the vinegar (use all for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Add spinach, avocados and tomatoes. Toss to combine.

Slice tofu.
Divide salad between plates, then top with crispy shallots.
Divide tofu between plates.

If you've opted to get tofu, pat dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken breasts.
