INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup roasted chickpeas (82g)
1/2 cup cooked lentils (100g)
3.5 oz baked tofu (100g)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (8g)
1 cup mixed greens (30g)
1/4 cup diced cucumber (26g)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, pat them dry, and toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the lentils by ensuring they are cooked until tender. If not already done, cook lentils in water with a touch of salt until soft, then drain.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. Season lightly with salt and pepper and bake in the oven (or pan-sear) for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and diced cucumber.
Add the roasted chickpeas, cooked lentils, and baked tofu to the bowl.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the salad for a boost of savory umami flavor.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, toss gently, and serve immediately.
