Description
Grilled Lemon-Pepper Tofu is a light, protein-rich, and refreshing dish that is easy on digestion and full of flavour without being heavy. The lemon adds freshness, black pepper gives gentle warmth, and grilling keeps it low in oil. It works well as a main protein for lunch or dinner, especially for those looking for a clean, plant-based meal.
