Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Enjoy a vibrant, protein-packed salad featuring crispy, pan-seared tofu paired with fluffy quinoa and a handful of fresh veggies. This salad is dressed in a zesty lemon-tahini dressing that ties the flavors together for a light yet satisfying vegetarian lunch.
INGREDIENTS
300g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa (~46g)
40g Shelled Edamame
50g Mixed Salad Greens
50g Cherry Tomatoes
50g Cucumber
1/2 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook until they are golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
While the tofu cooks, prepare the quinoa if not already cooked. Measure out 1/4 cup and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and shelled edamame.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and a splash of water if needed to achieve a smooth dressing consistency. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Layer the cooked quinoa and crispy tofu over the salad. Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing evenly over the top.
Gently toss the salad to combine all the flavors. Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, refreshing lunch.
