INGREDIENTS
200g firm tofu
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/3 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 cup mixed greens
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp tahini
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1/2-inch slices or cubes.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan and grill the tofu pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.
While the tofu grills, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grilled tofu, chickpeas, diced red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, shredded carrot, and mixed greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, tahini, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy this crunchy, protein-packed, vegetarian lunch.
