  • We love the salad, the first time I made it, I made it as written. I've tried a few substitutions for the tofu and it still tastes great. I've tried sour cream and cream fraiche, both were just as good! Other variations that I have tried include add arugula just before serving and also adding watermelon. It's the perfect little surprise. The first time I made it I served with seared scallops for a light summer meal. Huge hit! Another reader commented that it tasted and looked too much like soy sauce, I decreased the amount by half and it seems to be OK.

  • Loved the dressing and have used it on other salads as well. Big hit. Only changes added the dressing directly to the salad and have sometimes added a green - kale or lettuce. Delicious and my kids love it.

  • this looked so pretty that I made the tofu cream because I was thinking of taking it to a potluck. It tastes too much like tofu and soja sauce and is surely not as bright white as in the picture (has a kind of a nasty brownish tint. gross). will definitely not use the cream, but the rest of the salad tastes good.

  • This was a hit with everyone. It was delightful , seasonal blend of fruit and vegetable. Easy to make and I didn't make any changes to the recipe.
