Ingredients
Blackened Tempeh
- 1 oz package tempeh, cut into thin strips
- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ Tablespoon paprika
- ½ Tablespoon fresh oregano leaves chopped
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Salad
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- ½ orange bell pepper sliced thin
- ¼ cup red onion sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
Citrus Tahini Dressing
- ¼ cup Tahini
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice + ½ teaspoon orange zest
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1-2 Tablespoons water if necessary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss tempeh with maple syrup, paprika, oregano, oil, cayenne pepper and sea salt. Spread coated tempeh in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet or a baking stone. Add sheet to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until browned and crunchy. Flip tempeh once around the 8 minute mark. Remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, prepare your quinoa if you haven't already. ⅓ cup dry quinoa cooked with ⅔ cup water will result in 1 cup of cooked quinoa. Once cooked, set aside and allow quinoa to cool.
- Prepare dressing by adding all ingredients into a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth. Add a little water to thin the dressing if needed.
- Prep salads by layering 1/3 of the romaine, quinoa, bell pepper, onion, avocado and blackened tempeh in three separate bowls. Drizzle with desired amount of dressing and serve.
Notes
- blackened chicken salad
- turmeric tahini dressing
- garlic tahini dressing
- lemon vinaigrette dressing
- Tempeh: If you don't need this salad to be vegan, blackened chicken would be a delicious protein substitute for the tempeh. Follow the instructions in my blackened chicken salad for how to prep the chicken.
- Quinoa: You could swap the quinoa with another grain like farro or rice.
- Dressing: Craving a different dressing? Here are some of my other faves that would pair well with this salad: turmeric tahini dressing, garlic tahini dressing and lemon vinaigrette dressing.
