Are you ready to brighten up your meal times with a burst of colors and flavors? This Rainbow Tofu Bowl with Creamy Cilantro Ranch is just what you need. Packed with crispy tofu, a variety of fresh, colorful veggies, and topped with a creamy cilantro ranch dressing, this bowl is a true celebration of plant-based goodness. Whether you’re looking for a nutritious lunch or a satisfying dinner, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients—vegan mayo, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, crushed garlic, dried parsley, dried dill, onion powder, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly combined and set aside. Prepare your rice according to the package instructions or use any leftover rice or grain you have on hand.
Quickly blanch your asparagus in salted boiling water for about 30 seconds, then refresh them in ice water to maintain their vibrant green color. Next you’ll want to slice and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Drizzle with a little avocado oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Air fry at 400°F until crispy. Once cooked, cut into bite-sized cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, iceberg lettuce, yellow bell pepper, tomatoes, purple cabbage, rainbow carrots, and blanched asparagus. Top with the crispy tofu cubes. Drizzle the creamy cilantro ranch dressing over the salad. Garnish with an avocado rose if desired. Enjoy your colorful, nutritious, and delicious rainbow tofu bowl!
