Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Pan-seared tofu cubes tossed with fluffy quinoa and edamame, drizzled in a bright lemon-tahini dressing for a satisfyingly nutty finish.
INGREDIENTS
9.8 ounces Extra Firm Tofu, pressed and cubed
3 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Shelled Edamame
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Tahini
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/3 cup Diced Cucumber
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into small bite-sized cubes.
Place the tofu cubes in a bowl and toss thoroughly with nutritional yeast and a pinch of sea salt until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden and crispy.
In a small ramekin, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and a teaspoon of warm water until the dressing is smooth and pourable.
In a large serving bowl, layer the fresh spinach, cooked quinoa, edamame, and diced cucumber.
Top the salad with the warm crispy tofu and drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the top before serving.
