Apple-Pecan Tempeh Salad
Vegan Apple-Pecan Tempeh Salad can be enjoyed on for lunch or dinner. Serve it on bread for a healthy sandwich or on a bed of mixed greens as a simple salad.
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce package tempeh
- 1 small apple diced
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- ¼ cup toasted pecans roughly chopped
- ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium tamari
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- pinch cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the tempeh by steaming it for approximately 10 minutes. I used a steaming insert in a bot with boiling water, but you can use a bamboo or electric steamer. Use whatever you would steam veggies with.
- Allow the tempeh to cool, then crumble it into a bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together thoroughly.
- Place in the fridge in a sealed container and allow to chill for an hour or two.
- Serve on sandwiches or in salads. You can also serve as a snack with cut veggies or crackers.
