sponsored by LightLife Foodsein and nutrients, and it’s as delicious as it is versatile.
For years now, we’ve been making mock chicken salad starring LightLife Classic Tempeh, so we’re thrilled to share our recipe with y’all today!
Tempeh is a superfood that’s packed with protein. In this dish, we cube the tempeh right out of the package and add it to the recipe uncooked, but you can sauté it beforehand in olive oil as well. We’re always looking for satisfying, no-oven vegetarian dishes, especially in the summertime.
Add the salad to a bowl of baby lettuce or scoop it into a croissant. Decadent and balanced, just our style.
