Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad
A vibrant, protein-packed salad featuring crispy tofu cubes, nutty quinoa, tender edamame, and fresh vegetables tossed with a zesty nutritional yeast-lemon dressing. This salad offers a satisfying crunch and bright flavors that elevate your vegetarian lunch experience.
INGREDIENTS
250g Firm Tofu
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.33 cup Shelled Edamame
1 cup Baby Spinach
0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper, sliced
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with oil if necessary, then add the tofu cubes. Sauté them until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, shelled edamame, baby spinach, and sliced red bell pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, nutritional yeast, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper to create a tangy dressing.
Add the crispy tofu to the salad bowl and drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-dense, protein-packed power salad.
