Great taste and simple to make. I'll certainly make this again.

This does taste very fresh and sort of springtime-y. The pineapple and lemon juice give it sort of a sweet-and-sour taste. I would have liked a touch of spice with these ingredients, but a lot of people will probably love it as is. I followed the instructions exactly, except that I pressed the (firm) tofu before using it, and used a drop of honey instead of the sugar.
