Step 1
Press the 8 oz tofu between paper towels for 2 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
While tofu cooks, slice the 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 red onion thinly. Halve the 1 cup cherry tomatoes.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups mixed greens, sliced pepper, onion, and tomatoes. Add the warm tofu.
Step 5
Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the salad, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, toss well, and serve immediately.
