Crispy Tofu and Chickpea Power Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
This vibrant salad features crispy, pan-seared extra-firm tofu alongside hearty chickpeas tossed with fresh baby spinach and sweet red bell pepper. The salad is elevated with a zesty, light lemon tahini dressing that brings tang and creaminess in every bite, perfectly balancing texture and flavor for a satisfying lunch.
INGREDIENTS
210g Extra-Firm Tofu
110g Chickpeas, cooked
30g Baby Spinach
30g Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Pat the chickpeas dry if using canned, then set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly season the tofu cubes with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder if desired. Sauté the tofu until all sides are golden and slightly crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach and thinly sliced red bell pepper.
Add the warm crispy tofu and chickpeas to the salad greens.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and lemon juice with a splash of water to achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, protein-packed lunch.
