Tempeh Salad Recipe

- May 28
Tempeh and other beans are the perfect complement to green vegetables in healthy vegan recipes and this tempeh salad recipe is a great example.
The tempeh makes a meal out of a salad, and the greens give the body enzymes and nutrients to help break down the dense nutrients of the bean. Top it with some ginger, which helps stimulate the digestive system, and you have a excellent source of energy without weighing you down.
