thai tempeh salad

This Thai-Inspired Salad with Tempeh is an ode to my favorite dish at our local Thai restaurant. Packed with crunchy veggies and crispy fried tempeh, then drenched in a tangy lime dressing! Vegan + Gluten-Free.

Fresh Thai-Inspired Salad with Tempeh

high-heat oil

tempeh,

Salt,

lime juice

tamari or soy sauce

maple syrup

sambal olek (chili garlic sauce)

garlic, crushed

iceberg lettuce, chopped

granny smith apple, julienned*

carrots, julienned*

red onion, small dice

cilantro,

peanuts

Cook the Tempeh: warm the oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tempeh to the oil and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, using tongs to rotate each piece until all sides are golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle generously with salt, toss, and set aside to let cool.

Make the Dressing

Add the lime juice, tamari, maple syrup, sambal olek, and garlic to a large bowl and whisk until well combined.

Toss &amp; Serve

Add the lettuce, apple, carrot, and red onion to the bowl and toss well. Spread the pan-fried tempeh evenly over the salad, then top with cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately; leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This is SO good! I'm not a huge tempeh fan so I just used marinated tofu, and also added avocado. The dressing is to die for and has just the right amount of heat. I'll be making this all summer, for sure.

This was a really great salad. Took me longer than 20 minutes, but I may be a slow chopper. Used my air fryer for the tempeh.

So good!! Saw it on IG and had tempeh on hand that I needed to use up! I decided to try it and omg so good! So simple and fast to make as well! Thank you! :)

This is my new favorite salad, also made for several
friends and family who declared it their new  favorite too! I added a mix of green and red cabbage for extra  crunch as suggested.  I also added a handful of cashews to the dressing and blended for a little creaminess and it helped the dressing stick to the greens.   Thanks for another fabulous recipe!

This salad was so good! Light and fresh, but so flavorful! I LOVED the dressing. 
Definitely adding to the rotation 😍

I make this with romaine and cabbage and it's amazing. I've made it with both tempeh and tofu and both are really great. I come back to this salad a lot and it's perfect on a hot day.

Saw this recipe on your Instagram story and it became my lunch! Really delicious. I airfried the tofu and used almonds Imstead of peanuts, because it's what I had.

Perfect summer meal! I've been making this weekly and adding either roasted small potatoes or Asian-style barley (sauteed with garlic, minced ginger in a little sesame oil, then boiled). I also have taken to adding a few cashews (as one of the reviewers mentioned) for the dressing and lastly, I've been air-frying the tempeh after steaming it in a marinade. Thank you so much!
