INGREDIENTS
260g Extra-firm Tofu
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/3 cup Roasted Chickpeas
1/3 cup Shelled Edamame
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tbsp Tahini
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then slice it into cubes. Toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Spread the tofu cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp on the edges.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas if using canned. Toss them with a bit of garlic powder, salt, and a tiny drizzle of oil if desired. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until crunchy.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, tahini, a pinch of salt, and a little water to achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency for the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cooked quinoa, and edamame. Add the roasted chickpeas and crispy tofu once they are ready.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to mix all the flavors. Serve immediately.
