Had this salad at a restaurant in Minneapolis and had to make it the second I got home. It takes a bit of prep work, but definitely worth it!

Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup quinoa rinsed
- 12 oz tofu (1 package - extra firm) cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup vegetable
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1 avocado diced
- 2 cups mixed greens with spinach
- 1 cup broccoli florets, bite sized
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1/4 cup capers
- 7 leaves basil fresh, cut into strips or more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Toss sweet potato with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet; spread out in an even layer.
- Roast sweet potato in the preheated oven until soft, about 20 minutes.
- Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low; stir in quinoa. Cover and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to cool.
- Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Remove from heat; add tofu cubes. Let soak for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a clean dish towel.
- Mix flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Toss tofu cubes in flour mixture until evenly coated.
- Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu cubes in 2 batches until browned, about 20 seconds per side.
- Place 3 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a jar. Seal and shake well to make dressing.
- Pour dressing into a large bowl. Add sweet potato, tofu cubes, avocado, mixed greens, broccoli, red bell pepper, capers, and basil; toss to combine.
- Divide quinoa among serving plates; top with sweet potato salad mixture.
- Cook's Note: Don't overcook the tofu cubes. You want the outside brown and the inside hot, but not too dry.
