We’re having a heat wave over here and I am LOVING IT. Soaking up every 90 degree day. It’s about time that we had summer in New England. The warmer weather has resulted in lots of bean and mac salads over here – and this tempeh salad. Oh man, this tempeh salad is making my life and has quickly become a staple. It’s so quick and easy to make, and soooo refreshing. Plus, packed with protein which is always a plus. It’s a weekend staple this summer and I have a feeling it will be for a very long time.
If you need something fast and easy for your next summer BBQ or just for any ‘ol day (like me) then I hope you try this! It’s non-vegan approved, too (in this house, anyway!)
