INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Quinoa (from 1/2 cup uncooked)
0.5 cup Shelled Edamame
0.75 cup diced Firm Tofu
0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper, halved
0.5 cup diced Cucumber
0.5 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook according to package instructions until fluffy. Allow it to cool slightly.
While the quinoa cooks, prepare the vegetables: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the red bell pepper.
Dice the firm tofu and lightly pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, shelled edamame, diced tofu, red bell pepper, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure even distribution.
Adjust seasoning if needed and serve immediately, or chill for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
