Crispy Lentil and Chickpea Power Salad with Tahini Dressing
A vibrant and hearty whole food plant-based salad featuring crispy roasted tempeh, tender chickpeas and lentils, tossed with fresh mixed greens and a medley of tomatoes and cucumber, all drizzled with a light tahini dressing and finished with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for an extra umami kick.
INGREDIENTS
170g Tempeh
1/2 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1/4 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Tahini
2 cups Mixed Greens
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes & Cucumber
1 tsp Nutritional Yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Slice the tempeh into thin strips or cubes and lightly season with your favorite spices (such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt). Sauté the tempeh until crispy and golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
While the tempeh cooks, in a large bowl combine the cooked chickpeas and cooked lentils. If desired, season these with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon to enhance their flavor.
Add the mixed greens and chopped cherry tomatoes and cucumber to the bowl.
Once the tempeh is crispy, add it to the bowl with the legumes and greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini with a splash of water (if needed) to thin it out. Pour the dressing over the salad.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the top for an extra boost of umami flavor. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, protein-packed power salad.
