So I just want to start off saying how awesome tempeh is. It's fermented soy so it's not controversial like some processed soy products are. Just like your yogurt has good bacteria in it, so does tempeh because it's been fermented! YAY and it packs some awesome fiber and protein as well! 17 grams of protein per serving!!!
This is one of my favorite things to have for lunch because you can put it on top of a salad, put it inside of a big wrap, and even put it on top of a big baked sweet potato!
Curried Tempeh-Mango Salad
1 (8 oz) package of tempeh
1 cup of frozen mango chopped into 1/4 inch chunks
1/4 cup of scallions chopped
- Cut the tempeh into bite sized chunks and steam for 10 minutes
- You could also place the tempeh in a small sauce pan, cover the tempeh with water, cover the pot and bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water when tempeh is finished cooking.
Meanwhile mix together all the ingredients for the dressing:
3 tablespoons of any oil based mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 cup of lime juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 - 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Last, add the chopped mangoes, scallions, and tempeh to the dressing. Cover and put in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight to let the flavors meld together.
On top of my salad I had for lunch (that's broccoli slaw underneath it, not cheese lol)
