This is one of my summer staples. I love chicken salad, but I love this even more because it's healthy. Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake. It really doesn't have much flavor, which is great because so many things can be made with it! I always steam or boil my tempeh first to get it moistened. It kind of smells like bread when I'm steaming it. You can make this plain, but I always seem to add curry to it.
Tempeh Curried Chicken Salad
Boil or steam one package of tempeh for about 5 minutes. I usually boil or stem it whole or cut in half.
Drain and rinse with cool water. Chop into small pieces that resemble the texture of chicken salad. Put into a bowl with:
1 large stalk celery, diced
1/4 cup raisins or chopped red grapes
1/4 cup yogurt or mayo
about 1/4-1/2 tsp. curry powder
1 Tablespoon pickle relish
1 Tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
juice of half of a lime or lemon
Stir well to incorporate all ingredients and put in a covered container to chill.
salt to taste. Delicios as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or by the forkload.
