The closest analogue of this strictly vegan tartare from Andrey Zhdanov, chef of the Modus restaurant, is the well-known beetroot salad with feta cheese and walnuts. But tofu, which plays the role of feta cheese here, lacks the creaminess and saltiness typical of brine cheese. Therefore, the taste of the dish goes towards freshness rather than density: the contrast with the sweetish beetroot is provided by the lively green peas with a menthol note of fresh mint, which have turned into a sauce, the aroma is provided by the lemon zest in the dressing, and the tofu serves as a neutral background for everything else.
