Equipment

Tofu Press

Ingredients

  • 2 14-ounce packages extra-firm tofu, pressed, patted dry, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3/4 cup Italian vinaigrette salad dressing divided
  • High-heat nonstick spray for grill grates
  • Fresh basil chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the tofu cubes in a large mixing bowl. Pour 1/2 cup Italian dressing over the tofu and toss gently to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Oil the grill grates or generously spray with high-heat nonstick spray to prevent the tofu from sticking. Preheat the grill to medium heat (375°F).
  • Thread the marinated tofu onto metal skewers. If you prefer wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to use.
  • Place the tofu skewers onto the direct heat of the grill. Cook for 5 minutes per side (exact time may vary depending on your grill), basting with the remaining 1/4 cup Italian dressing each time the skewers are turned. The tofu is done when it has visible grill marks and is lightly browned.
  • Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve warm.
