INGREDIENTS
200g Extra-Firm Tofu
3/4 cup Cooked Green Lentils (approx. 150g)
30g Mixed Salad Greens
50g Carrot
50g Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds
PREPARATION
Press the tofu gently with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes and marinate lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a few drops of olive oil.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the carrot and red bell pepper (cut into bite-sized pieces) with a minimal drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the oven on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, mixed salad greens, and the roasted vegetables.
Lightly pan-fry the tofu cubes in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until all sides are golden and crispy.
Gently toss the crispy tofu into the salad, then sprinkle nutritional yeast and hemp seeds over the top.
Drizzle a final touch of olive oil if desired, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
