"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!"

Ready In
- 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.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Don't overcook the tofu cubes. You want the outside brown and the inside hot, but not too dry.

This is super tasty. I subbed jalapeños for red pepper and added some sautéed zucchini I needed to use, but this is a solid, nutrient-packed meal with just enough comfort-food appeal to leave me...
