Crispy Lentil and Quinoa Power Salad with Edamame and Pumpkin Seeds
A protein-packed bowl of pan-seared lentils and fluffy quinoa tossed with edamame and zesty lemon, finished with toasted pumpkin seeds for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Shelled Edamame
0.5 cup Cooked Lentils
0.25 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.5 tbsp Pumpkin Seeds
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 cup Mixed Greens
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils, then pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up properly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the lentils, searing them for 5-7 minutes while tossing frequently until they become slightly crispy and golden.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crisped lentils, cooked quinoa, and steamed shelled edamame.
Whisk together the lemon juice and nutritional yeast in a small bowl, then drizzle the mixture over the lentil and grain base.
Add the mixed greens to the bowl and toss gently so the warmth of the lentils slightly softens the leaves.
Garnish the salad with the raw pumpkin seeds for added texture and serve immediately.
