Growing up in Hawai’i, I’ve eaten tofu watercress salad many times, as it’s a local favorite. Typically served with a shoyu-ginger based dressing, it’s a popular dish at family parties. This Lemon Caper Tofu Watercress Salad recipe has a completely different flavor profile, but it’s a tasty way to change up the watercress and tofu combination.
