INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (~111g)
1 cup black beans (rinsed, ~172g)
1/2 cup shelled edamame (~75g)
100g firm tofu, cubed
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked, then let cool.
Drain and rinse the black beans, and if using frozen edamame, thaw them.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.
Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, edamame, and tofu.
Add the red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
