There’s more than one way to layer a Caprese. Here we’ve given tofu a flavorful “cure” of vinegar and sea salt, then air-dried it in the fridge until it’s delightfully firm and creamy, for a mozzarella stand-in.

Ingredients
Method
Halve tofu block lengthwise, and then cut each half into 12 equal slices.
Place slices close together on the cutting board and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and salt.
Transfer slices to a rack fitted into a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, at least 8 hours or up to overnight to dry out and absorb flavor.
Fan tomato slices out on a platter.
Tuck tofu and basil between slices.
Sprinkle salad with remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and pepper and serve.
