80g	breakfast radish, sliced very thinly on a mandolin

CRUNCHY TOPPING
20g	salted peanuts, roughly chopped
1 tbsp	sunflower seeds
2 tsp	white and/or black sesame seeds

Method

Make the dressing. In a small blender, or a jar with a lid, blitz together the soy, lime juice, marmalade and half a teaspoon of salt until fully combined. Slowly pour in the oil as you mix until silky smooth and emulsified.
Remove the tofu from its carton, taking care to keep it intact. Line a plate with a paper towel and place the tofu on top. Leave for five minutes to drain any excess liquid.
Add the mangetout, sugar snaps, radishes and spring onionsto a large mixing bowl along with 50ml of the dressing and toss together. Slice the tofu into 1cm thick slabs and place in a line down the side of a large plate with a good lip. Spoon over the remaining dressing onto each piece and sprinkle them over the tofu and the top of the salad. In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients and sprinkle them over the tofu and salad.
