Hi Friends!
Whether you are plant based or just love yourself some a delicious greek salad, you will love this protein packed, satiating salad. It is a perfect dish to take to a gathering to share or even to meal prep and have on hand for meals throughout the week.
As a vegan, I strive to be very conscious of the amount of protein I eat and this salad is a win! With 10 grams of protein in 1/2 cup of tofu, 8 grams of protein in 1 c. of Quinoa, micro/macronutrients in kalamata olives, fiber/vitamins/antioxidants in brocolli, and fiber/potasium/choline/vitamin c in tomatoes, this dish has it all!
