Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded celery
  • 2 heads chicory, sliced on the slant
  • 2 avocados, cut into short thick slices
  • 400 g block firm tofu
  • Avocado oil
  • Soy sauce or ponzu sauce (a citrus-flavoured soy sauce)
  • For garnishing:

  • Tufts of bitter greens (mizuna or curly endive, or a mix)
  • Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons thick mayonnaise
