This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and honestly feels fancy enough for guests. The sticky glazed tofu gets wonderfully caramelized and golden, while the winter citrus brings this bright, fresh energy that cuts through the richness perfectly. I love using kale in salads like this because it's so nutrient dense, packed with vitamins and minerals that keep you feeling great. The crisp quinoa adds a lovely texture contrast, and the whole thing just sings when you toss it together with that tangy red wine vinegar dressing.

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Juice 1 grapefruit, trim the skin and pith from the other and slice it into thin rounds. Do the same with the blood oranges, keeping the juices separate. Discard the kale stalks, finely chop the leaves and put into a large bowl with a good pinch of salt, 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 2 tbsp grapefruit juice. Scrunch and massage the kale for 4 minutes.

Tip the quinoa onto a baking sheet, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and spread into an even layer. Place the tofu on a separate baking tray, toss with the remaining olive oil, then season and roast together for 15 minutes until lightly golden.

Meanwhile, mix the orange juice with the honey, then season. Remove both trays from the oven and give them a good mix. Pour the orange and honey mix over the tofu and mix well. Add the hazelnuts to the quinoa and return both trays to the oven for 10-15 minutes. The tofu should be sticky and starting to caramelise and the quinoa and nuts should be golden and crisp.
