-
Mix the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed tofu, sliced onion, carrot, and green pepper.

Create the Dressing:
- In a separate jar, make the dressing. Combine finely chopped red chilies, juice from the limes, brown sugar, fish sauce, and the aromatic fresh lemongrass.
- Close the lid tightly and give it a good shake. This will blend all the flavors together.
-
Marinate and Chill:
- Pour the dressing over the tofu and veggies in the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the dressing coats every piece.
- Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Serve with a Crunch:
- When you’re ready to enjoy, take the salad out of the fridge.
- Sprinkle the top generously with peanuts. They add a wonderful crunch and nuttiness to each bite.

Enjoy!

Tips:
- For an extra kick of spice, leave the seeds in the red chilies. Adjust according to your heat preference.
- Make sure to use firm tofu for this recipe. Silken tofu might break apart too easily.
- Don’t skip the refrigeration step! It allows the tofu to absorb all the zesty flavors of the dressing.
