Cauldron

BBQ Tofu Rainbow Summer Salad

Fire up the… erm, air fryer. You don’t need a BBQ (or an umbrella) for this vegan BBQ Tofu Rainbow Summer Salad. The air fryer gives our Cauldron Extra Firm Tofu a delicious crunch, and the sauce makes it a BBQ tofu salad success. Whip up your own to take along to those summer barbies or just enjoy at home. Once you’ve tucked in to this rainbow salad, you’ll never eat just greens again!
