INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked quinoa (185g)
1/2 cup cooked black beans (86g)
175g firm tofu
1/4 cup shelled edamame (40g)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (75g)
1/4 cup diced red onion (40g)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and black beans.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly sear the tofu cubes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
Add the tofu and shelled edamame to the bowl with quinoa and black beans.
Mix in the diced red bell pepper and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve at room temperature.
