INGREDIENTS
250g Extra Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Shelled Edamame (~50g)
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa (~55g)
1/3 cup Chickpeas (~82g)
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Press the tofu gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and cut into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with half the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread out on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
While the tofu bakes, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and measure out 1/3 cup once cooked.
Steam or boil the edamame (if not pre-cooked) until tender, then drain.
Rinse the chickpeas and pat dry.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cooked quinoa, edamame, and chickpeas.
Add the baked tofu to the salad, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, and toss gently to combine.
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
