Directions:
Cut the tofu into cubes and place in a strainer. Let strain for 1 hour to remove all excess liquid or your salad will be watery. Peel and seed the avocados, cut into cubes. Place in a mixing bowl, add the lime juice, and toss to coat. Add the drained tofu. In a small bowl whisk together the San-J Tamari, sesame oil, honey, and jalapeno and add to the avocado and tofu.
