Method

Preheat your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the cubed tofu and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
In a mixing bowl, combine harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach and romaine lettuce. Add the cooked sweet corn and cooked tofu, then pour over the harissa dressing. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Allow the salad to rest for 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
Transfer the salad to serving dishes. Top with chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Add optional sliced avocado or feta cheese if desired.
