Feel free to swap the tofu for chickpeas for a different protein source or if you're looking for a heartier option.
This salad is perfect for meal prepping; just keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to eat, to keep everything fresh.
If you have leftovers, they can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but for best flavor, consume within 24 hours.
