5
Place the tofu on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
6
While the tofu bakes, combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olives in a large bowl.
7
Add the mixed greens and goat cheese to the salad, drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette, and toss everything together.
8
Serve the salad on plates and top with the baked tofu. Enjoy your meal!
