INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup firm tofu, cubed
1/4 cup mixed chopped veggies (tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic (minced)
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned, then measure out 1/3 cup and set aside.
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes. In a bowl, gently toss the tofu with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Chop a small assortment of tomatoes, cucumber, and red bell pepper until evenly sized. Measure out 1/4 cup of the mixed veggies.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with 1 minced garlic clove. This will serve as your light, zesty dressing.
Combine the chickpeas, tofu, and mixed veggies in a serving bowl. Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast over the top for a savory, cheesy flavor boost. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
