Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- While the pan heats, 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 with salt, pepper and half the Zesty Garlic Blend.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry 2-3 min per side, until golden.
- Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend.
- Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine.
- Cover and let stand, 5 min.
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Thinly slice chives.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- To a small bowl, add mayo, half the tahini sauce (use all for 4 servings), half the chives, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. (NOTE: This is your tahini-ranch sauce.)
- To a large bowl, add 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Set aside. (NOTE: This is your lemon dressing.)
- To the pot with couscous, add lemon zest and remaining chives.
- Season with salt and pepper, then fluff with a fork to combine.
- To the large bowl with lemon dressing, add spinach and tomatoes, then toss to coat.
- Thinly slice tofu.
- Divide couscous and salad between plates. Top with tofu.
- Drizzle tahini-ranch sauce over top.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
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 the same way the recipe instructs you to season chicken. Pan fry 2-3 min per side, until golden.
