Creamed miso tofu with melon

This uncanny-sounding combination of flavours is a refreshing and creative take on a standard fruit salad with cream. Silken tofu is an earthier-tasting, dairy-free alternative to regular cream and makes the bright and juicy melon really pop.

Instructions

1. Place the tofu in some paper towel and leave to drain for about 10 minutes.
