Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
Pan-seared tofu and roasted chickpeas tossed with fluffy quinoa and fresh spinach, finished with a zesty lemon-dijon dressing and savory nutritional yeast.
INGREDIENTS
175g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/3 cup Canned Chickpeas
2 cups Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
PREPARATION
Press the extra-firm tofu between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
Toss the tofu cubes and drained chickpeas with half of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Pan-sear the tofu and chickpeas in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and fresh baby spinach.
Whisk together the lemon juice, dijon mustard, and the remaining half teaspoon of olive oil to create a light dressing.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa and spinach, tossing well until the greens are slightly wilted by the warmth of the quinoa.
Top the salad with the crispy tofu and chickpeas, then finish with a generous sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a savory boost.
