Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
Pan-seared extra-firm tofu and fluffy quinoa tossed with fresh baby spinach and crisp cucumber, drizzled with a creamy lemon-tahini dressing.
INGREDIENTS
200g Extra Firm Tofu, cubed
2 tbsp Cooked Quinoa
2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
1 tsp Tahini
1/2 cup Diced Cucumber
1 tsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Press the extra-firm tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
Mist a non-stick skillet with a tiny bit of oil spray and sear the tofu over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are golden and crispy.
In a small ramekin, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic powder, and one tablespoon of warm water until the dressing is creamy and emulsified.
Assemble the salad by placing the fresh baby spinach in a large bowl and topping it with the cooked quinoa and diced cucumber.
Add the warm crispy tofu to the bowl, sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a savory boost, and drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over everything before tossing gently.
