  • Heat a grill or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
    Grill the tofu for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown with nice grill marks.

  • Wash and dry the arugula.
    Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly.
    In a large bowl, combine the diced watermelon, arugula, cucumber, and sliced red onion.
    Dress the salad with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add fresh mint leaves if you want an extra touch of freshness.

  • Arrange the grilled tofu on a serving plate.
    Next to it, place the watermelon and arugula salad.
    If you like, drizzle some raw olive oil over the tofu and sprinkle with black pepper.

  • This dish is a wonderful combination of sweet, fresh, and slightly smoky flavors. It’s perfect for a light, nutritious, and flavorful summer lunch. Enjoy your meal! 😍
