PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Rinse and drain the black beans, and prepare the shelled edamame if needed.
Dice the red bell pepper and halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the cilantro.
Cube the tofu and either grill or pan-sear until lightly golden, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, edamame, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, grilled tofu, and crumbled feta.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
