Caprese-Style Salad with Tomato & Drained Tofu

This is how I like to eat tofu It's cheap, healthy, and looks great! I highly recommend this dish.

I think the tofu tastes best when drained for 24 hours.
I recommend preparing it at night, changing the paper the following morning, and then eating that evening.
If you're strapped for time, you can drain it more quickly by placing a stone weight, plate, etc. on top.
The tofu will get smaller when drained. Recipe by rie-tin
