INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Cooked Green Lentils (100g)
3/4 cup Shelled Edamame (100g)
100g Extra Firm Tofu, baked
1/4 cup Roasted Chickpeas (40g)
1 cup Mixed Greens (30g)
1/2 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking the tofu and roasting the chickpeas.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes. Toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of oil if desired.
Place the tofu cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly crisp on the edges.
Rinse and drain chickpeas (if using canned), pat them dry, and toss with salt, pepper, and any preferred spices. Spread them on a separate baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until crunchy.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, a splash of water, salt, and pepper until smooth to create a light dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, shelled edamame, baked tofu, roasted chickpeas, and mixed greens.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this crispy, nutrient-packed, gluten-free vegan power salad.
