Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
A vibrant, energizing salad featuring crispy tofu, nutty quinoa, and crunchy roasted chickpeas tossed with fresh mixed greens and red bell pepper, finished with a sprinkle of hemp seeds and a bright lemon dressing for a perfect balance of textures and flavors.
INGREDIENTS
200g Firm Tofu
0.75 cup cooked Quinoa
0.5 cup Roasted Chickpeas
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper, halved
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp of olive oil, and sauté the tofu cubes until they are golden and crispy on all sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, if not using pre-roasted chickpeas, toss drained chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes until crunchy.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of mixed salad greens with halved slices of red bell pepper.
Stir in 0.75 cup of cooked quinoa and the roasted chickpeas.
Add the crispy tofu to the salad, drizzle with 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice, and gently toss to combine.
Finish by sprinkling 1 tbsp of hemp seeds over the top and add additional salt and pepper if desired before serving.
