INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked quinoa (185g)
1 cup black beans (172g)
120g firm tofu
0.5 cup diced red bell pepper (75g)
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (30g)
0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (4g)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Rinse quinoa thoroughly and cook according to package instructions until fluffy. Allow it to cool slightly.
Drain and rinse the black beans if using canned.
Press the tofu gently with paper towels, then cut into small cubes. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the tofu and lightly sauté until golden on all sides. Remove from heat.
Dice the red bell pepper and chop the fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice from a fresh lime.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, sautéed tofu, and red bell pepper.
Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice, then gently toss to mix evenly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the salad and serve immediately or chill for a refreshing cold salad.
