Ingredients

6 cups mixed greens of choice
1/2 block of firm tofu
2 tbsp tapioca flour
2 tbsp hot sauce
1/2 medium cucumber
2 stalks celery chopped
1 large carrot chopped
¼ cup onion chopped, red or yellow
2 tbsp ranch dressing

Homemade ranch

1/2 cup mayo of choice, 1/4 cup canned coconut milk, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dill, 1/2 tsp dried chives, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp hot sauce

Instructions

First, you'll want to make your crispy tofu. Chop the tofu into slices and place it in a medium bowl. Add in the tapioca flour and make sure the tofu is coated. Then add in the hot sauce to coat.
Spray your air fryer with cooking spray and add the tofu in an even layer. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Flip and air fry for another 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, pick your favorite mixed greens and fill two bowls.
Chop up some onion, carrots, celery and cucumber. Add the veggies into the bowl with the mixed greens.
Now add in the tofu and top it with homemade ranch and more hot sauce.
Enjoy!

Homemade ranch

All you have to do is mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl and chill it in the fridge until ready to use.
Use your favorite mayo (I like using primal kitchen brand) and make sure your canned coconut milk is stirred well before mixing it in.
