3 Tbsp lemon juice
4 tsp miso
1 clove garlic, minced
8 cup torn, bite-size romaine lettuce
2 cup torn, bite-size radicchio
½ cup grated parmesan cheese

To prepare dressing & assemble salad: Whisk oil, lemon juice, miso and garlic in a large bowl. Add lettuce, radicchio and Parmesan; toss to coat. Serve topped with the tofu and croutons.

Note: Miso is a fermented soybean paste that adds flavor to dishes like soups, sauces and salad dressings. It is available in different colors, depending on whether it’s made with barley-, rice- or soy-based mold. In general, the lighter the color, the milder the flavor. It will keep, in the refrigerator, for at least a year. Any type of miso will work in this recipe.

To Make Ahead: Prepare through Step 3; cover and refrigerate tofu and store croutons airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days.
