INGREDIENTS
200g Extra Firm Tofu
3/4 cup Shelled Edamame (approx. 100g)
1/4 cup Chickpeas (approx. 40g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tbsp Tahini
2 cups Mixed Greens
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu gently between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
In a non-stick skillet, lightly spray with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and sauté until all sides are golden and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper during cooking.
While the tofu is cooking, prepare the edamame by rinsing if necessary and draining the chickpeas.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, and a few tablespoons of water until a smooth, drizzleable dressing forms. Season with a pinch of salt and additional pepper if desired.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cooked edamame, and chickpeas. Add the crispy tofu once ready.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the salad for an extra boost of umami flavor.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant textures and balanced flavors of this power salad.
