INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked lentils (~150g)
0.25 cup cooked quinoa (~43g)
2.5 oz extra firm tofu (~70g), cubed
1 cup fresh spinach
0.5 tbsp tahini
2.5 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp water
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed tofu lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly crisp on the edges.
While the tofu is baking, in a large bowl combine the cooked lentils, cooked quinoa, and fresh spinach.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and water. Adjust water to reach your desired dressing consistency.
Once the tofu is done, gently fold it into the salad bowl.
Drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the salad and toss to evenly combine all the ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy a nutrient-packed, crispy, and refreshing vegan power salad.
