Salad with tofu and spicy lime dressing - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas would work well as protein alternatives. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Keep dressing separate if possible to prevent sogginess.
Yes, as written, but always check labels on soy sauce or other condiments in the dressing to ensure they're gluten-free.
Yes, but prep ingredients separately and assemble just before serving to maintain texture. Store dressing separately.
Coconut oil or avocado oil are good substitutes, though they'll slightly alter the flavor profile.
Reduce or omit the potatoes and increase the cabbage and radishes for a lower-carb version.
Freezing isn't recommended as the vegetables will become mushy upon thawing. The dressing can be frozen separately for up to 1 month.
Fresh parsley, basil, or mint would make excellent substitutes depending on your flavor preference.
Press the tofu for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture, and fry at a slightly higher temperature for extra crispness.
Bell peppers, snap peas, or shredded carrots would add nice color and crunch to this versatile salad.
