My Keto Tofu Salad is full of crispy tofu, veggies, pine nuts, & topped with a creamy tahini dressing. It's healthy, keto, and plant-based.
I want to start this recipe by disclaiming that I don’t follow a Keto diet.
But Keto works for a lot of people. Many of my friends have successfully met new health and weight goals on a keto meal plan.
I didn’t know much about the Keto diet until about a month ago, when I developed this recipe for a friend on Keto.
I’ve heard it said that you can’t be vegetarian or vegan on a Keto diet.
My Keto Tofu Salad is proof that this statement isn’t true.
With its luscious, creamy tahini dressing, crispy tofu, delicious veggies, pine nuts, and feta (if using), this keto tofu salad is decadent. You’d never guess it’s Keto friendly and vegetarian/vegan.
I’ve included a few different ways to prepare the tofu. So whether you prefer to bake, fry, or pan fry the tofu, you’ve got options.
And they’re all delicious.
Whether you follow a Keto diet or not, this is one healthy, delicious, and filling salad.
Make my Keto Tofu Salad for lunch or dinner. I’m sure you’ll agree.
And check out my other salads and veggie sides here. Many of them are keto friendly.
If you decide to deep fry the tofu, you’ll want to use a fryer skimmer to get the tofu in and out of the hot oil.
Visit my Amazon store to see my favorite fryer skimmer. It’s perfect for this keto salad recipe.

I looove the look and sound of this salad, Shannon! And I think it’s wonderful that you can either bake it or fry the tofu (though I assume the texture is a little different?). I haven’t heard of fleur de sel before and now I really want to try it. Thanks so much for sharing – I am not surprised you are in love with this salad, it sounds absolutely amazing.
Thank you so so much Katerina! You are so right, the tofu texture is different between the frying and the baking. Still gets nice and crispy both ways, but more so with the frying. (Baking tends to keep the inside a little softer, but the outside still gets nice and browned!) Ohhhhh please please please try cooking with fleur de sel!!! It’s the BEST! Absolutely love the stuff! And if you try it, be sure to tell me what you think! It’s a definite necessity in my kitchen (:
