Lemon and dill. Such a summer combo, am I right? Both flavors have a lightness about them that make a great pairing as we move into the months of abundant fresh produce and clean recipes that can be whipped up with little effort.
My first attempt at this marinade was a little too sour thanks to overdoing it on the citrus, but I decided to give it another go and I loved the outcome of the finished product.
You can pair this tofu with a salad like I did, but it would also be great in a wrap with some hummus and veggies or on their own as an appetizer with your favorite dip. I've included all of the veggies and toppings I used if you'd like to recreate the salad I made - I highly suggest you do, because it was darn good.
