This crispy tofu harvest salad is everything you crave in a refreshing fall meal—crunchy, colourful, and deeply satisfying. Packed with plant-based protein, fibre, and wholesome ingredients, this tofu salad delivers a crunchy texture in every bite. Roasted sweet potatoes, crispy tofu, and lentils mingle with crisp apples, kale, and pomegranate jewels, all brought to life by a zesty Lemon Sage Dressing that's bright, tangy, and aromatic. It's the perfect nourishing bowl for a hearty vegan lunch or a light, feel-good dinner.
Chop your sweet potato into small cubes and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Add a can of strained and rinsed lentils to the other side of your sheet pan, then toss with olive oil and salt. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the lentils are crispy.
Grate your tofu using a cheese grater and add it to another baking sheet. Toss in olive oil, paprika, and ¼ tsp of salt. Bake at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Cook your quinoa according to package directions then let cool.
Roughly chop your kale and add it to a large salad bowl. Massage your kale with salt and olive oil until it wilts, darkens, and becomes soft. Add your fruit, nuts, and seeds to the salad bowl.
Make your dressing in a blender, then adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble your salad, pour over the dressing, and enjoy.
