Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.When hot, add almonds, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until almonds are golden-brown and coated in caramel glaze, 3-4 min.Carefully arrange almond pralines on a plate in a single layer. (NOTE: Be careful; caramel will be hot! Do not touch pralines until cool.)Sprinkle a pinch of salt over top.
Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut in half, parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have 2 square tofu "steaks" per block.) Season with garlic salt and pepper.When almond pralines are done, reheat the same pan over medium.When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side.
While tofu cooks, core, then cut apple into 1/2-inch pieces.Add vinegar, blueberry jam, mustard, 1 tsp (2 tsp) water and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then whisk to combine.When tofu is done, add spring mix to a large bowl. Drizzle half the blueberry vinaigrette over top, then toss to coat.
