I'd like this recipe for Tofu salad served hot as well as cold.
I would add some fresh orange slices or spiced pineapple chunks as a finish.
Spiced Pineapple Chunks
Drain a can of pineapple chunks, heat the juice with 1/2 t. of cinnamon.
Simmer a bit to reduce the juice and pour over the pineapple chunks.
Chill and serve.

Add sprouts, green onions, tofu, carrots and dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to bowls and serve garnished with cilantro and peanuts.
