Turn tofu strategically
while cooking to produce
various grill patterns.

DIRECTIONS



  1. Heat grill to medium-high and grease


grill grates. Line a cutting board with


a few layers of paper towels. Place
tofu on top and cover with more paper


towels. Use another cutting board or flat


object on top and press down gently to
extract excess liquid from tofu. Remove


tofu and discard towels.



  1. Turn tofu blocks on their sides and


slice in half lengthwise. Lightly brush


with oil and season with chili powder
and ¼ teaspoon salt. Grill until golden


and grill marks appear, about 4 minutes


per side. Remove from grill and slice


each piece in half.



  1. Brush peppers and zucchini with oil
    and lightly season with salt (to taste). Grill
    until tender and slightly charred, about
    2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from
    grill. When cool enough to handle, slice
    peppers into strips and zucchini into
    half-moons.

  2. Add dressing ingredients to a blender
    cup and blend until smooth. Divide greens
    among serving plates and top with grilled
    vegetables and tofu steaks. Drizzle with herb
    dressing and scatter on pumpkin seeds.
