Green Salad with Tempeh, Peaches, and Avocado

This plant-based entree salad gets its heartiness from the flavorful baked tempeh bites. Tempeh is a fermented version of tofu that can be found in Indonesian cuisine. If peaches aren’t in season near you, try this recipe with apple slices instead.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon miso

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

16 ounces tempeh, diced into bite-sized pieces

juice of 2 limes

1/8 teaspoon salt.

8 ounces spring greens (or salad green of choice)

1 avocado, cubed

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

3 medium peaches, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, miso, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to make the marinade.
  2. Combine the marinade and the diced-tempeh in a large zip-top bag or covered container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  3. Set the oven to 425°F. Spread the marinated tempeh out on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, flip, then bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  4. While the tempeh is cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lime juice and salt.
  5. In large mixing bowl, toss together the spring greens and dressing. Toss in the avocado cubes, red onion, and peach slices and continue mixing until the avocado coats the leaves.
  6. Add in the cooked tempeh, then divide salad among 4 bowls to serve.

How’d it Taste?

  • JP910 says:

    Ok, so update. I made it again. This time, I added a roasted red pepper, swapped mango for the peach, and did a miso ginger homemade dressing instead (from Feasting at Home if it matters). With the adjustments, 5 stars from me.

  • JP910 says:

    This was good, despite my forgetting to add the soy sauce to the marinade.

    I think next time I may roll the tempeh in sesame seeds as well. I might sometimes swap out mango for the peaches and top with a little cilantro.
