INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Chickpeas (164g)
150g Firm Tofu
1/2 medium Avocado (100g)
2 cups Mixed Greens (50g)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (75g)
1/4 cup Sliced Cucumber (30g)
2 tbsp Red Onion (20g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 tbsp Lime Juice (30g)
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the cooked chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until they become crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the chickpeas are roasting, press the firm tofu gently to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly sear the tofu cubes for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve an even light crisp on all sides. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and chopped red onion.
Add the roasted chickpeas and seared tofu to the bowl.
Slice the avocado and gently toss it into the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, remaining olive oil, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the zesty dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss carefully to combine all the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed salad.
