Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Power Salad with Pumpkin Seeds
Pan-seared tofu and fluffy quinoa tossed with fresh baby spinach and toasted pumpkin seeds, finished with a savory nutritional yeast dressing and a squeeze of bright lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7.7 ounces Extra Firm Tofu
0.4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1.5 tablespoons Pumpkin Seeds
3.5 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
2 cups Fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Press the extra firm tofu between paper towels for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture then cut into small cubes.
Toss the tofu cubes with two tablespoons of the nutritional yeast and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu until all sides are golden and crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh baby spinach, cooked quinoa, and the remaining nutritional yeast.
Whisk the lemon juice with a tablespoon of water and pour it over the salad base, tossing well to coat the leaves.
Add the warm crispy tofu to the salad and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds for a final toasted crunch.
