INGREDIENTS
150g Extra Firm Tofu
0.75 cup Shelled Edamame
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.5 Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Cornstarch
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Drain and press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
In a shallow bowl, toss the tofu cubes gently with cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare the salad by combining mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and sliced red bell pepper in a large bowl.
Add the shelled edamame to the salad mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and a small splash of water to achieve a smooth, drizzling consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Top the salad with the crispy tofu cubes and sprinkle hemp seeds on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this power-packed, refreshing lunch.
