🥗 Cold Lemon Dijon Tofu Protein Salad

Sometimes the healthiest meals are the least complicated.

This is my go-to no-cook, high-protein meal when I want something fast, fresh, and genuinely satisfying. I literally snip the greens with scissors right into the bowl — especially when my kitchen counter is a mess and life feels a little chaotic. Real life nutrition doesn’t have to be perfect to still nourish you.

The combination of tofu + beans creates a balanced meal with protein + fiber to support satiety, digestion, blood sugar balance, and recovery.

And because this tofu is calcium-set, it naturally provides calcium, which can bind to oxalates found in greens like Kale, Swiss chard, and spinach. That may help support both kidney and bone health.

✨ Fast. Fresh. Functional.

RECIPE:
• 1-2 cups kale, spinach or Swiss chard, snipped
• 1 carrot, ribboned

• 2 tsp tamari
• 1–2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Black pepper

Vinaigrette:
• 1 tbsp balsamic
