Yield1 Serving

A protein-packed salad that is delicious as a sandwich filler or on top of a salad.

Tempeh-Salad--wb

 8 ounces plain tempeh, cut into ½-inch cubes
 Water to cover the tempeh
 2 tablespoons coconut aminos*
 2 to 3 scallions, finely sliced
 2 to 3 celery stalks, finely sliced
 Juice of 1 lemon
 1 heaping tablespoon vegan mayonnaise*
 Freshly ground black pepper
1

Place tempeh cubes in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add enough water to cover the tempeh. Bring to a boil.

2

Reduce heat to medium. Partially cover the pot with a lid.

3

Continue to cook until all of the water is gone, and the tempeh starts to stick to the bottom of the pot (about 15- 20 minutes).

4

Mix in coconut aminos. Turn off the heat. Let the tempeh rest, covered for 5 minutes to absorb flavors.

5

Mash the tempeh with a bean or potato masher.

6

Mix in scallions and celery. Add lemon juice, vegan mayo, and freshly ground black pepper.

7

Serve on a bed of lettuce, with rice crackers, or in a wrap of your choice.

Note:
*Big Tree Farms Coco Aminos is a favorite brand for this tempeh salad along with Follow My Heart Avocado Vegenaise, but any vegan mayo is fine.

You may substitute tamari or soy sauce for the coconut aminos.
