Crispy Buffalo Tofu with Caesar Salad
Sep 01, 2025 09:04 AM
This Buffalo Tofu is SO EASY! A two-ingredient sauce tossed with air-fried crispy tofu, laid on top of a kale caesar salad.
Sometimes eaten in a frenzy as a finger food at 5pm, but usually tossed on top of a creamy kale caesar salad like you see here – it’s bar food meets wholesome food.
This buffalo tofu is way too easy. Just criminal.
Zero batters and breading, zero cutting boards to wash. Just a two ingredient hot sauce + butter combo and a quick air fry or bake for the crispy tofu base.
You can throw this tofu into a wrap or bowl, but lately what has really been floating my boat is just a big ol’ pile of this saucy tofu on top of a Caesar salad. My faves:
The bagged Caesar from Trader Joe’s
The store-bought vegan Caesar dressing from Trader Joe’s (it’s in the refrigerated section)
The avocado kale caesar
The buffalo sauce is too spicy for my kids, so I leave a few pieces for them without the sauce to dip in ranch or ketchup. And they love it.
I made last tonight for dinner and I thought, I need to tell you to double this – we have a family of 4, with two being little kids who don’t eat a ton, and there are ZERO pieces left over between all of us. I honestly think even just me and my husband could finish the whole block of tofu between the two of us.
It’s easy and it’s delicious. I hope you love it!
