Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing
Pan-seared extra-firm tofu and fluffy quinoa tossed with fresh kale and a zesty lemon-tahini dressing, finished with a sprinkle of savory, toasted nutritional yeast.
INGREDIENTS
7.7 oz Extra Firm Tofu, pressed and cubed
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1.5 tbsp Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Fresh Kale, chopped
0.5 tsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water then cut into bite-sized cubes.
Toss the tofu cubes in a bowl with the nutritional yeast and a pinch of garlic powder until every piece is thoroughly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the edges are golden and crispy.
While the tofu cooks, place the chopped kale in a large mixing bowl and massage it with half of the lemon juice until the leaves become soft and dark green.
In a small ramekin, whisk together the tahini, the remaining lemon juice, and a teaspoon of warm water to create a smooth, pourable dressing.
Add the cooked quinoa and crispy tofu to the bowl with the kale, drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the top, and toss gently to combine.
