1/3 cup cooked quinoa

1 tablespoon lemon juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package directions if not already cooked; allow it to cool.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned.
Cube the extra firm tofu and, if desired, lightly press to remove excess moisture.

Add the baby spinach and drizzle with lemon juice. Gently toss to mix all ingredients together.
