Chickpea and Quinoa Salad with Crispy Tofu
A vibrant, satisfying salad featuring fluffy quinoa, tender chickpeas, and perfectly crispy tofu, all lightly enhanced with a nutty hint of hemp seeds and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. This vegetarian dish is designed to be refreshingly simple yet delicious, perfect for a quick protein-packed lunch.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup cooked quinoa (approx 43g)
1/3 cup cooked chickpeas (approx 82g)
2.25 oz extra-firm tofu (approx 64g)
1/3 tablespoon hemp seeds (approx 3g)
1 tsp nutritional yeast (approx 2.7g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
Place the tofu cubes on a lined baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush with a small amount of oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are crisp, turning once halfway through.
While the tofu is baking, prepare your cooked quinoa and warm chickpeas if needed.
In a bowl, combine the quinoa, chickpeas, and the crispy tofu once it is done. Add hemp seeds and nutritional yeast, then gently toss to evenly distribute.
Taste and adjust any seasoning as desired, and serve immediately.
