Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 8
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large bowl & a small bowl

Get started

  • Dice the sweet potato into 2cm chunks. Add to the lined baking tray with 1/2 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 10 mins
  • Cut half the onion into 1cm wedges, then thinly slice the remaining. Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and dice into 2cm chunks
  • After 10 mins, add the onion wedges to the sweet potato and toss to combine, then push to one side of the tray
  • Add the tofu to the other side, sprinkle with the peri peri seasoning, drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the tofu, then roast everything for a further 15-20 mins, until the veg is soft and golden

Make the dressing

  • Meanwhile, finely chop the chives and parsley. Halve the lime
  • In the small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the mustard, parsley, three-quarters of the chives, the juice from half the lime and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a splash of water to loosen. Mix well, then set aside
  • Add the sliced onion to the large bowl with the juice from the remaining lime and a pinch of salt. Leave to pickle

Build the salad

  • Trim and thinly slice the lettuce
  • Allow the sweet potato and onion wedges to cool for a few mins, then add to the pickled onion bowl with the peas, lettuce, half the tofu and three-quarters of the dressing. Toss everything until well coated. Season to taste

Plate up

  • Share the salad between bowls, topped with the remaining tofu. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and sprinkle with the remaining chives to finish
