INGREDIENTS
150g Firm Tofu
1 cup Cooked Quinoa (185g)
0.5 cup Shelled Edamame (100g)
50g Red Bell Pepper, chopped
50g Cucumber, diced
50g Carrot, shredded
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes.
In a bowl, gently toss the tofu with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and your choice of seasonings (such as a dash of paprika or black pepper) to enhance its flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tofu cubes. Sauté until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
While the tofu cooks, prepare the base by combining 1 cup of cooked quinoa and 0.5 cup of shelled edamame in a large mixing bowl.
Add the chopped red bell pepper, diced cucumber, and shredded carrot to the bowl, mixing gently to distribute the vegetables evenly.
Once the tofu is crisp, add it to the salad and toss everything together.
Finish by sprinkling 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds over the top for an extra nutty flavor and a slight crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, protein-packed salad.
