Directions
Tempeh Chicken Salad, For those of you who have never tried it, tempeh is a made from fermented soybeans that have been pressed into firm cakes It has a nutty and meaty texture, and, like tofu, it absorbs flavors of surrounding ingredients really well Tempeh is a very popular meat alternative for vegetarian cooks The first step in this recipe has you poach the tempeh in boiling water, which mellows out the flavor a bit, and makes it a bit more digestible This is yet another recipe from, my favorite: The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook , My only criticism of this recipe is that it asks for 12 oz of Tempeh when they usually come in 8 oz packages, so my tweak is to reduce some of the ingredients, such as mayo and mustard, and I also wrap in large leaf of romain lettuce instead of bread to be more of a Veggie-Paleo I also substituted pickle relish–much more convenient and just as good Yum!, This is the BEST recipe ever! I make it all the time, it’s my go-to recipe for pretty much everything It’s a very flexible recipe- if I don’t have scallions or red pepper I don’t even worry about it because it tastes so good anyway A lot of times when I don’t have tempeh I just mash up a can of chickpeas and use that instead Thanks SO much for posting this awesome recipe!
