A vibrant, plant-based power salad featuring tender cooked lentils, crispy pan-seared tempeh, and fresh, bright edamame tossed with mixed greens and cucumber. This nutrient-packed bowl offers a satisfying crunch and a harmonious balance of flavors—perfect for a mid-day boost.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils (100g)
80g Tempeh
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (75g)
1 cup Mixed Salad Greens (55g)
1/4 cup Cucumber slices (30g)
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the cooked lentils if needed and set aside.
Cut the tempeh into small bite-sized cubes. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the tempeh cubes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the edges become crispy and golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and cucumber slices.
Add the cooked lentils, sautéed tempeh, and shelled edamame to the bowl.
Gently toss all ingredients together. Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a light vinaigrette if desired (keeping in mind the overall calorie goal).
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
