INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup black beans
200g firm tofu
1/4 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 oz sliced almonds
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa as per package instructions; allow it to cool slightly.
Drain and rinse the black beans and pat dry.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the tofu cubes until golden on all sides; remove and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, and spinach.
Add the sautéed tofu and gently toss the ingredients together.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro to create the zesty dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Top the salad with sliced almonds just before serving for an added crunch.
