In a lot of salad bars in the NY area I see a tofu dish I would like to make at home. Its simply a triangle of tofu sliced down the middle with some marinated veggies. Do they cook the tofu first and then serve it chilled? What type of tofu should I use to make this?

I'm fairly certain that they use firm tofu, but if I made it at home, I'd probably use medium-firm because I prefer the texture. And you don't have to cook or heat it beforehand. Just make sure to drain it well, and put some weight on it to try and extract as much liquid as possible.
