We do get quite obsessed with things here at HurryTheFoodup. Tempeh Salad is our new love.
Our first foray into tempeh came about relatively recently ? and it was a revelation. Before starting the 30 Day Vegan Challenge, we teamed up with Christine ? long-time vegan and talented cook. It was she who introduced us to the joy of tempeh, and one we haven?t looked back from.
Tempeh is incredibly versatile, incredibly high in protein, and incredibly tasty (when done right). We?re here to show you how to do it right.

It?s always about the protein
Finding enough protein as a vegetarian or vegan is not too difficult ? when you?re looking in the right places. Tempeh is a great source of protein, as well as being high in manganese (an essential nutrient responsible for various processes in the body), iron and calcium. If you would like to know more about protein, please see our complete guide to vegetarian protein.

What can I expect from this tempeh salad"
If you?ve never tried tempeh before, then you?re in for a treat. It has a slighty nutty flavour ? but mostly it takes on the flavour of how it?s cooked. Soy sauce and maple syrup is by far and away our favourite combo for tempeh, it just fits so well. We tried many versions in our testing for this tempeh salad, as well in other recipes we?re trying out (more on those soon) and soy and syrup is just amazing.
I highly recommend adding a tablespoon or two of vinegar if you like your salads with an extra tang. Of course, that?s...
