Chickpea and Quinoa Power Salad with Crispy Baked Tofu
A vibrant bowl of fluffy quinoa and chickpeas tossed with fresh greens and topped with golden, nutritional yeast-crusted tofu for a satisfyingly crispy finish.
INGREDIENTS
200 grams Extra Firm Tofu
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
0.33 cup Canned Chickpeas
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
2 cups Baby Spinach
0.5 cup Sliced Cucumber
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Press the extra firm tofu with a heavy object for 10 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
In a small bowl, toss the tofu cubes with nutritional yeast and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the tofu on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crispy.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, rinsed chickpeas, baby spinach, and sliced cucumber.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Add the warm baked tofu to the bowl and toss gently before serving.
