Crispy Chickpea and Quinoa Power Salad
Oven-roasted chickpeas and tofu tossed with quinoa and fresh kale in a savory nutritional yeast dressing, finished with a squeeze of lemon and a satisfyingly toasted crunch.
INGREDIENTS
125g Extra Firm Tofu, cubed
40g Canned Chickpeas, rinsed and dried
40g Cooked Quinoa
2.5 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 cup Fresh Kale, chopped
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the tofu cubes and chickpeas very dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure they get crispy.
Place the tofu and chickpeas on the baking sheet, sprinkle with garlic powder and a pinch of sea salt, and toss to coat.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the tofu is golden and the chickpeas are crunchy.
While roasting, place the chopped kale in a large bowl and drizzle with lemon juice, massaging the leaves with your hands for 1 minute until tender.
Add the cooked quinoa, roasted tofu, and crispy chickpeas to the bowl with the kale.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the salad and toss everything together until the yeast creates a light, savory coating.
Serve immediately while the roasted elements are still warm and crisp.
