Recipe by Hugh Acheson Chef Hugh Acheson combines sweet, salty, spicy and tangy flavors in this exceptional summer tomato salad, tossing peaches, pickled serranos, and crisp tofu together with a zippy ginger-lime dressing.

Ingredients

2 serrano chiles
1/2 c. rice wine vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. fresh ginger
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 c. canola oil
3 tbsp. canola oil
6 oz. extra-firm tofu
2 heirloom tomatoes
2 peaches
1 c. arugula or mizuna
1/2 c. basil leaves

Instructions

Put the serranos in a small heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil with the vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the brine over the serranos and let stand for 15 minutes, until cooled to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, mustard, and 3 tablespoons of the oil.
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until shimmering. Add the tofu and cook over moderate heat, turning, until crisp, 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Season with salt. Looking for vegetable recipes? Try our best asparagus recipes, eggplant recipes, or zucchini recipes.
