- 2 small pkgs grape tomatoes
- 2 limes
- 1 orange bell pepper
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ medium red onion

- cumin, ground
- extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Cut tofu in half along the long side. Sandwich tofu between clean towels or paper towels and place on a baking sheet pan. Place a cutting board with something heavy on top and set aside to press out excess water.
- Place hot sauce, oil, honey, and spices in a medium bowl. Stir to combine the marinade.
- Cut tofu planks in half, then cut each half into two triangles. Add tofu to the bowl with the marinade, gently stir to coat, and set aside.
- Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats up, remove husks and silks from corn. Using your hands, snap each ear in half.
- Once the pan is hot, add corn cobs and grill, rotating occasionally, until slightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Remove to a plate and allow to cool slightly. (Reserve pan for later use.)
- Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.
- Zest and juice limes into another medium bowl.
- Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl with the lime.
- Peel, halve, and mince onion. Add to the bowl, along with the spices, and stir to combine the lime dressing. Transfer half of the dressing to a third medium bowl, then set both bowls aside.
- Return the grill pan to medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add tofu and grill until charred and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Add to the plate with the corn.
- Meanwhile, quarter tomatoes. Trim, seed, and medium dice bell pepper. Add both to one of the bowls with the dressing, stir to combine the salsa, and set aside.
- Working over the bowl with the remaining lime dressing, coarsely grate corn off of the cob, catching all of the kernels and juices in the bowl.
- Add feta, yogurt, and mayo to the bowl with the corn. Stir to combine the corn salad.
- To serve, divide tofu, corn salad, and tomato salsa between plates. Enjoy!
