Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
Pan-seared tofu and nutty quinoa tossed with roasted chickpeas and baby spinach, finished with a burst of sweet pomegranate seeds.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
0.3 cup Canned Chickpeas
4 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
2 tablespoons Cooked Quinoa
2 cups Baby Spinach
2 tablespoons Pomegranate Seeds
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.
Toss the tofu cubes in a bowl with the nutritional yeast and a pinch of garlic powder or sea salt until evenly coated.
Mist a non-stick skillet with a tiny amount of oil spray and sear the tofu over medium-high heat until all sides are golden and crispy.
Place the chickpeas in an air fryer or oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until they are crunchy and roasted.
In a large salad bowl, layer the baby spinach and top with the cooked quinoa and roasted chickpeas.
Add the crispy seared tofu to the salad.
Garnish the dish with fresh pomegranate seeds and drizzle with lemon juice for a bright, clean finish.
