Ingredients

  • 1 block of firm tofu
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chopped kale, stems removed
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Cut the tofu into cubes, place on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Rinse quinoa under cold water, then cook according to package instructions.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, kale, red onion, and cilantro. Toss with the dressing.

  6. 6

    Divide the quinoa mixture into bowls, top with baked tofu, avocado slices, and sprinkle with almonds.

Chef's tip

For added flavor, marinate tofu briefly in soy sauce and ginger before baking. Ensure quinoa is light and fluffy by allowing it to rest covered after cooking.
