Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Add 14 ounces cubed extra-firm tofu and gently toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 2: While tofu marinates, combine 1 cup diced pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 small minced jalapeño, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl to make the pineapple salsa. Refrigerate until serving.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated tofu cubes onto skewers and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and tofu is heated through.
Step 4: Serve tofu skewers topped with the fresh pineapple salsa for a bright contrast of spicy and sweet flavors.
