Ingredients

  • 12 ounces tempeh, cubed
  • 1 stalk celery, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red bell peppers, minced
  • 1 large dill pickle, minced
  • 2 -3 scallions, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup soy mayonnaise or 1/2 cup regular mayonnaise (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (spicy golden brown is nice too)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Place the cubed tempeh in a saucepan of boiling, salted water.
  • Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 12 minutes, drain and set aside to cool.
  • I usually toss it in the fridge.
  • In a large bowl, combine the celery, pepper, pickle, scallion and parsley.
  • Run a knife through the cubed tempeh, just to give it a rough chop (optional, the cubes work fine too) Add chopped tempeh to the bowl, along with the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon, salt and pepper.
  • Fold everything together, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors combine.
  • This will keep covered in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  • This salad goes great on wheat toast, in a pita pocket, or in a lavash wrap.
