Zesty Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
A vibrant and refreshing salad combining nutty quinoa, hearty black beans, creamy tofu, and crisp edamame with a zesty lime dressing and a burst of red bell pepper. This dish offers a delightful balance of textures and a lively medley of flavors that is as nutritious as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (~93g)
1/2 cup rinsed Black Beans (~130g)
2/3 cup shelled Edamame (~100g)
125g Firm Tofu
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper (~38g)
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp chopped Cilantro
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the black beans if using canned. Rinse the shelled edamame if not pre-cooked.
Prepare quinoa according to package instructions; once cooked, allow it to cool slightly.
Press the firm tofu lightly to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, edamame, cubed tofu, and diced red bell pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring an even coat on all ingredients.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
