This Korean tofu salad is one of my go to weeknight meals because it comes together in under an hour and won't break the bank. The star ingredient is silky tofu, which is packed with protein and keeps you satisfied without weighing you down. I love how versatile it is too since you can swap vegetables based on what you have in your fridge. The gochujang dressing brings that authentic Korean kick with sesame oil and rice vinegar creating this perfect balance of spicy, tangy, and nutty flavors. It's impressive enough to serve guests but honestly so easy that I make it for myself all the time.
