INGREDIENTS
140g Extra Firm Tofu
150g Cooked Lentils
70g Shelled Edamame
0.75 tbsp Hemp Seeds
40g Mixed Salad Greens
30g Red Bell Pepper, diced
30g Cucumber, sliced
0.5 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tsp Cornstarch
1g Nutritional Yeast
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for 10 minutes on paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the tofu cubes; sauté until all sides are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils and steamed edamame with the mixed salad greens, diced red bell pepper, and sliced cucumber.
For the dressing, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, a splash of water, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Stir in the nutritional yeast.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Top the salad with the crispy tofu and sprinkle hemp seeds over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this protein-packed, refreshing power salad.
