I made this last week and it was great. My husband loved it and he does like meat so it proves that you can make tofu (or tempeh in this case) taste like chicken! This is a great alternative to regular chicken salad (which is loaded with mayonnaise, oil and unhealthy ingredients).
You'll need:
- 1 package tempeh (if frozen, thaw in fridge for a few hours).
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 3 scallions
- 1 finely chopped pickle
- 2 celery stalks (chopped)
- 1/4 white onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 3 tbsp vegan mayo (I used grape seed oil vegennaise)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- some toasted bread (I used gluten free bread but any will do)
- greens or lettuce for the sandwich
I used this "chicken salad" for sandwiches but it can also work as a dip with some pita chips or as a side dish.
1. Steam tempeh for 10-15 minutes. Chop into bite size pieces.
2. mix all of the ingredients together into a bowl and then add in tempeh pieces. These should be small enough for it to look like a "chicken salad.
3. If more mayo or mustard is needed, adjust seasoning.
4. Serve over toasted bread and greens or just greens (as a salad).
*Great add-ins: some red grapes!
Enjoy!!
