I was really in the mood for a salad tonight, so I made Tempeh Salad! I often make the curry version, but I just made the plain version tonight. Here is the recipe for the plain salad with suggested substitutions for the curry version.

Ingredients

• 1 package tempeh, diced into bite sized pieces
• 1/2 cup celery, diced
• 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup grapes OR raisins
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (substitute coconut flakes for curry version)
• 1 small apple, diced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 TBSP agave nectar (substitute lime juice for curry version)
• 2 tsp rosemary, finely chopped (substitute curry powder for curry version)
• 1/2 cup vegenaise OR plain soy yogurt
• 1/8 cup plain soy milk (an optional substitution for curry version is coconut milk )
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

• Steam tempeh for 15 minutes and LET COOL.
• Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
• Chill and serve. (I like to serve it on a bed of lettuce, but it’s also great in a sandwich or wrap!)
