INGREDIENTS
0.25 cup cooked green lentils (50g)
0.75 cup shelled edamame (100g)
1.2 scoops pea protein powder (30g equivalent base)
0.5 teaspoon tahini (2.5g)
0.5 tablespoon nutritional yeast (4.5g)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15g)
2 tablespoons water (30g)
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread the cooked lentils on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 8-10 minutes until they begin to crisp up, stirring halfway through for even crispiness.
While the lentils roast, lightly steam or microwave the shelled edamame until tender, then drain and set aside.
Prepare the dressing by mixing the fresh lemon juice, water, tahini, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. In a separate small cup, dissolve the pea protein powder in a tablespoon of water to avoid clumping, then add it to the dressing mixture and whisk well.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted crispy lentils and edamame. Drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
