Chop the baby romaine lettuce. Dice the tomato. Dice the cucumber. Roughly chop the olives. TIP: You can also use a microplane to grate the garlic.

Drain tofu, pat dry, and cut into 1 inch cubes. Add lemon zest, cubed tofu, cornstarch, sumac, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a large bowl, and toss to coat. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated tofu and cook, tossing occasionally, until crispy and browned in places, 5 to 8 minutes. TIP: The drier the tofu, the crispier it will get.

Add 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to the shallot and garlic in the large bowl. Stir to combine. Add diced tomato, chopped lettuce, and chopped olives. Gently toss the fattoush salad. In a separate bowl, mix together diced cucumber and ranch dressing.
