INGREDIENTS
160g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1/8 cup Roasted Chickpeas
1/4 cup Shelled Edamame
1 cup Mixed Salad Greens
1/8 cup Cucumber slices
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Spices (garlic powder, salt, pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the chickpeas lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until crisp.
In a nonstick pan over medium heat, add the tofu cubes and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until golden and slightly crispy on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
If using edamame, warm them briefly in the pan or microwave.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add the sautéed tofu, cooked lentils, roasted chickpeas, and edamame to the greens.
Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top. Toss gently to combine all flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, crispy tofu and lentil power salad.
