Herb-Marinated Tofu and Quinoa Salad
Sautéed herb-marinated tofu tossed with fluffy quinoa, crisp vegetables, and a zesty lemon dressing for a bright and refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
10 oz Extra firm tofu
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
0.5 cup Shelled edamame
2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Olive oil
0.5 cup Diced cucumber
0.25 cup Diced red bell pepper
1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into half-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Toss the tofu cubes in the marinade and allow them to sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, shelled edamame, diced cucumber, and red bell pepper.
Add the seared tofu to the bowl and sprinkle with nutritional yeast and fresh parsley for an extra boost of flavor.
Toss everything together gently until well combined and serve either warm or chilled.
