INGREDIENTS
250g Extra Firm Tofu
1/4 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
1 cup Spinach
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 tsp Tahini
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Capers
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly season the tofu cubes with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake the tofu in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy on the edges.
While the tofu is baking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside a 1/4 cup cooked portion.
Steam or boil the shelled edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender, then drain.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach, diced red bell pepper, cooked quinoa, and edamame.
Prepare the lemon-tahini dressing by whisking together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, capers, and an extra pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the tofu is crispy, add it to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavor-packed, protein-rich power salad.
