INGREDIENTS
250g Firm Tofu
100g Cooked Lentils
50g Mixed Baby Greens
50g Cherry Tomatoes
50g Cucumber
10g Red Onion
1 tsp Tahini
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Lightly season the tofu cubes with salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs. Optionally, you may dust them with a tiny bit of cornstarch for extra crispiness.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until all sides are golden and crispy, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed baby greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and finely sliced red onion.
Add the cooked lentils to the salad mix.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together tahini and fresh lemon juice with a splash of water to reach a smooth, drizzle-friendly consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently toss the salad with the lemon-tahini dressing, then top with the crispy tofu cubes.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, nutrient-dense meal.
