A vibrant, protein-packed salad featuring a blend of fluffy quinoa, hearty black beans, lightly sautéed tofu, and crisp vegetables, finished with a tangy lime dressing and a sprinkle of crunchy pepitas for added texture and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1/2 cup black beans (130g)
100g firm tofu
1 boiled egg
1 oz pepitas (28g)
1/2 cup mixed vegetables (spinach, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked; let it cool.
Rinse and drain the black beans.
Dice the firm tofu into small cubes and lightly sauté in a non-stick pan with a splash of olive oil until golden on all sides.
Chop mixed vegetables (spinach, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes) into bite-sized pieces.
Boil an egg until hard boiled, then peel and slice it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, sautéed tofu, and chopped vegetables.
Drizzle the mixture with lime juice and a bit of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with sliced boiled egg and sprinkle pepitas over the dish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled version.
