Prepare the Tofu Marinade:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, and multiflower honey. Add a pinch of fine salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to create a marinade. -
Prepare the Fruit:
Cut the peach and plums into small pieces. Peel the watermelon and scoop out approximately 300g of its flesh, cutting it into 2 cm cubes. Slice the apricots, and combine all the fruits in a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon zest and fresh thyme, then gently stir to combine. -
Marinate the Tofu:
Cut the tofu into a block and place it in the marinade. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to soak in the flavors, ensuring the tofu is well-coated. -
Grill the Tofu:
Once the tofu has marinated, remove it from the bowl and slice it into sandwich-like halves. Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil. Grill the tofu slices on both sides until they are golden brown and crispy. -
Assemble the Bowl:
Cut the grilled tofu into sticks or bite-sized cubes and add it to the mixed fruit bowl. Drizzle some of the leftover marinade over the top, and finish with a few more sprigs of fresh thyme for an aromatic touch. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Gently toss the mixture to combine, and serve your fresh, sweet, and savory watermelon & tofu bowl! Enjoy the vibrant, fruity flavors with a hint of grilled tofu goodness.
This Watermelon & Tofu Bowl is a refreshing, light dessert perfect for warm days or as a healthy, sweet treat. The balance of fresh fruit, aromatic thyme, and lightly grilled tofu creates a unique and satisfying dish. Itβs an excellent choice for a clean and nourishing indulgence.
