Directions

Marinate the tofu: In a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, avocado oil, lime juice, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Add tofu slices and marinate for 15–20 minutes, flipping once to coat evenly.
Prepare quinoa salad: In a mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and set aside.
Make the salsa: Gently mix mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice and cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt.
Grill the tofu: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill tofu 3–4 minutes per side or until well-marked and heated through.
Assemble the plate: Spoon quinoa onto a plate, top with grilled tofu, and finish with a generous scoop of mango-avocado salsa.
