Instructions

Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes
Toss the tofu cubes with olive oil, sea salt, and nutritional yeast, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway
Blend the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, and Dijon mustard until smooth for the dressing
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, tear into bite-sized pieces, and combine with half of the dressing
Top the greens with the baked tofu, sprinkle pumpkin seeds and extra nutritional yeast, and serve immediately

Notes

Ensure the lettuce is fully dry before dressing to avoid blandness.

Fresh garlic enhances flavor, so do not skip it.
