Instructions

  1. Make marinated tofu by adding soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, and agave syrup to the bottom of a 2-cup flat dish. Mix to combine. Add cubes of tofu, mix gently, cover, and chill for about 1 hour, turning tofu to marinate evenly once during this period.

Add watermelon cubes, mix gently, cover, and chill for about 1 hour, turning watermelon to marinate evenly once during this period.
  3. While tofu and watermelon are marinating, prepare salad ingredients.
  4. When tofu and watermelon are done marinating, remove from marinate, reserving liquid.
  5. Make a vinaigrette by whisking together 3 tablespoons reserved poke watermelon marinade, 2 tablespoons reserved tofu marinade, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil together in a small dish.
  6. Assemble each of 4 bowls as follows:
    • Line each bowl with 1 cup lettuce
    • Arrange 1 cup of the drained poke watermelon
    • Arrange ¼ of the drained tofu
    • Arrange ½ cup cooked, chilled quinoa
