INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (approx. 92g)
1/2 cup black beans (approx. 130g)
100g firm tofu
1/2 cup shelled edamame (approx. 75g)
1/4 medium avocado (approx. 50g)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (approx. 75g)
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (approx. 40g)
2 tbsp diced red onion (approx. 20g)
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and add rinsed quinoa. Simmer until cooked, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse black beans and prepare the edamame by removing from their pods, if necessary.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, tofu cubes, and edamame.
Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red bell pepper and red onion. Add these to the bowl along with chopped cilantro.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
