Crispy Tofu and Lentil Power Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
Pan-seared extra firm tofu and earthy lentils tossed with fresh greens and cucumber, drizzled in a creamy lemon-tahini dressing with a nutty finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Extra Firm Tofu, pressed and cubed
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
2 cups Mixed Salad Greens
0.5 cup Sliced Cucumber
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
0.8 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, toss the tofu cubes with garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the tofu, searing for 8-10 minutes while turning occasionally until the edges are golden and crispy.
While the tofu cooks, prepare the dressing by whisking together the tahini, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, and a splash of warm water until smooth and creamy.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cooked lentils, and sliced cucumbers.
Add the crispy tofu to the bowl and drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the top.
Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
