3 servings

  • 8 oz tempeh, 1 package
  • olive oil, for cooking
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 4 cups green leaf lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomato, halved
  • ¾ cup black beans
  • ½ cup corn
  • ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ⅓ cup red onion

Instructions

  • Cut the tempeh into a medium dice.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the tempeh and cook for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Add the soy sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes, until all of the seasonings are well-distributed and the tempeh is browned. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Make the avocado dressing: In a blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and blend until smooth. Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
  • Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, cilantro, red onion, and tempeh in a large bowl and pour over the avocado dressing.
  • Enjoy!
