Lentil Walnut Protein Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
A vibrant, protein-packed vegan salad featuring hearty lentils, crispy roasted chickpeas, and crunchy walnuts tossed with fresh mixed greens. This delightful bowl combines warm, earthy flavors with a tangy dressing for a satisfying midday meal that’s as nourishing as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked lentils (150g)
100g baked tofu
1/4 cup roasted chickpeas (40g)
1 tbsp chopped walnuts
1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, cherry tomatoes)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the chickpeas if not pre-roasted.
If using dry chickpeas, drain, rinse, pat dry, toss with a pinch of salt and your favorite spices, and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
While chickpeas roast, prepare the tofu by patting dry and baking or pan-searing it with minimal seasoning until edges are golden.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils and mixed greens.
Cube the baked tofu and add to the bowl along with the roasted chickpeas and chopped walnuts.
Toss everything gently to combine. Optionally, drizzle with a light lemon-tahini dressing to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy this protein-packed, satisfying vegan lunch.
