INGREDIENTS
140 grams Tempeh
100 grams Cooked Lentils
40 grams Roasted Chickpeas
50 grams Mixed Greens
50 grams Carrot
3 grams Hemp Seeds
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting chickpeas if not pre-roasted. Rinse and drain canned chickpeas or use pre-cooked ones, then pat dry.
Toss chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil (optional, not listed in macros) if desired. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy. Allow to cool.
While chickpeas roast, slice the tempeh into bite-sized cubes or strips and gently pan-fry in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine mixed greens and shredded or thinly sliced carrot.
Add the cooked lentils and warm tempeh to the greens. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Sprinkle the roasted chickpeas over the salad and finish with a light sprinkle of hemp seeds for an extra protein boost.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed vegan lunch.
