Tahini Lemon Dressing
3 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, grated
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tofu:
1 tablespoon honey
One 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, patted dry and split in half horizontally
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salad:

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions
For the tzatziki: Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic cloves, cucumbers, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the tahini-lemon dressing: Whisk 1/4 cup water together with the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the tofu: Brush the honey on the top and bottom of each slice of tofu. Combine the onion powder, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl and season both sides evenly with the mixture. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until the bottom and edges are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and continue to cook until the bottom and edges are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut the planks into 1-inch cubes.
For the salad: Place the onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Leave to soak for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
Meanwhile, divide the tzatziki between 4 bowls, spreading it to cover. Evenly divide the romaine, cherry tomatoes, soaked onions, olives and tofu between the bowls. Drizzle each with the tahini-lemon dressing. Serve with warmed pita.
