INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas (82g)
100g Baked Firm Tofu
1 cup Fresh Arugula
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Hemp Seeds
Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you need to roast chickpeas. Rinse and drain a can of chickpeas or use dried chickpeas that have been soaked, then pat them dry. Toss with a little sea salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired, and roast until crispy (about 20-25 minutes).
While chickpeas are roasting, prepare the lentils by cooking them until tender if not already cooked. Allow to cool slightly.
Cube the firm tofu and bake in the oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes or until golden and slightly crispy on the edges. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, roasted chickpeas, baked tofu, and fresh arugula.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, add hemp seeds, and gently toss the salad to distribute the flavors. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately for a fresh, nutritious, and protein-packed vegan lunch.
