INGREDIENTS
100g Tempeh
100g Cooked Lentils
50g Mixed Salad Greens
1 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tempeh for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized strips.
Spray a non-stick pan lightly with olive oil cooking spray and add the tempeh strips. Season with salt and pepper, and pan-sear them over medium heat until they become golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
While the tempeh cooks, prepare the salad base by placing the mixed salad greens and cooked lentils in a bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a splash of water until the dressing is smooth and slightly thinned.
Once the tempeh is crispy, allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the lentil and greens mixture.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the salad, gently toss to combine, and serve immediately.
