Grilled Tofu and Lentil Salad with Crunchy Vegetables
Grilled extra-firm tofu and protein-rich lentils tossed with crisp bell peppers and cucumbers in a zesty lemon-herb dressing, finished with a refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
8.8 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
0.5 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
0.5 cup chopped Cucumber
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons chopped Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Drain the extra-firm tofu and press it between paper towels for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Slice the tofu into half-inch thick planks and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with a tiny bit of oil if needed.
Grill the tofu planks for 3-4 minutes per side until distinct grill marks appear, then remove and dice into cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, grilled tofu cubes, chopped red bell pepper, and cucumber.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated before serving.
