Ingredients

- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 can (15 oz) Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
- Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- Cook the Tofu: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen, thaw and drain. Add the chopped corn to the skillet with the tofu and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and citron jam. Stir until well mixed.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tofu and corn, kidney beans, and brewed coffee. Gently fold in the mayonnaise-citron mixture until everything is well coated.
