INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 tsp olive oil

PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and let it cool slightly.
In a non-stick pan, quickly sauté the cubed tempeh over medium heat until lightly browned and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, black beans, edamame, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.
Gently toss in the sautéed tempeh along with the fresh herbs.
Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the salad, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix everything thoroughly so that the dressing evenly coats the ingredients.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an enhanced flavor experience.
