Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
A vibrant, plant-powered salad featuring crispy, seasoned tofu cubes partnered with a subtle nutty quinoa base, crunchy roasted chickpeas, tender edamame, and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast for an extra burst of umami, all tossed atop a fresh bed of baby spinach. This salad offers a perfect balance of protein and fiber in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
175g Extra Firm Tofu
1/8 cup cooked Quinoa (approx. 30g)
1/8 cup roasted Chickpeas (approx. 30g)
1/2 cup steamed Edamame
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Baby Spinach
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Toss the tofu cubes with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and your desired spices (such as paprika or garlic powder) and lightly pan-sear or bake until crispy on all sides.
Prepare the cooked quinoa if not already done. Measure out 1/8 cup and set aside.
For the roasted chickpeas, drain and rinse canned chickpeas, pat dry, toss with a little olive oil, salt, and spices, then roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes until crunchy.
Steam the shelled edamame until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, layer the baby spinach, then add the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, steamed edamame, and crispy tofu.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast over the salad for an extra boost of flavor and protein.
Gently toss all ingredients together. Adjust seasoning with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper as desired before serving.
