INGREDIENTS
175g Extra Firm Tofu
1 cup Cooked Lentils
2 cups Mixed Greens
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Sliced Cucumber
1/2 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray if desired, and sauté the tofu until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
Add the cooked lentils to the salad bowl.
For the dressing, whisk together lemon juice, tahini, and a splash of water until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Top the salad with the crispy tofu cubes and serve immediately.
