INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup roasted chickpeas (approx. 130g)
2 oz crumbled feta cheese (approx. 56g)
1/3 cup shelled edamame (approx. 50g)
100g firm tofu
1 cup cherry tomatoes (approx. 150g)
1/2 medium cucumber (approx. 100g)
1/2 medium red bell pepper (approx. 75g)
1/8 medium red onion (approx. 15g)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, pat them dry with a paper towel, then toss them with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Roast them on a baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas are roasting, drain the firm tofu and cut it into small cubes. Optional: Sauté the tofu in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes with a touch of olive oil until lightly browned for extra crispiness.
Prepare the fresh vegetables by halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the cucumber and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slicing the red onion.
In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted chickpeas, tofu, shelled edamame, and the fresh vegetables.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to mix all the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant textures and tangy flavors of this refreshing vegetable salad.
