INGREDIENTS
230 grams firm tofu
1/3 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup mixed greens
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder) to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Season the tofu cubes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Sauté the tofu until all sides are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and a splash of water if needed to thin the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced red bell pepper, and cooked quinoa.
Add the crispy tofu to the salad and drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the top.
Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly and serve immediately.
