INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
150g Firm Tofu
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds (10g)
2 tsp Nutritional Yeast (5g)
1/4 cup cooked Quinoa (43g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (5g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a non-stick skillet, lightly sauté the tofu cubes with a dash of olive oil, salt, and pepper until the edges turn golden, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas, cooked quinoa, and fresh spinach.
Add the cooled tofu along with hemp seeds and nutritional yeast to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a tangy dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are well coated.
Serve immediately, enjoying the mix of crunchy chickpeas, creamy tofu, and the fresh, vibrant flavors.
