Time 50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, cut into 1/2 inch squares
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup ranch salad dressing
1 tablespoon milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
½ small red onion, finely chopped
8 ounces shredded romaine lettuce
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place tempeh in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Steam for 20 minutes, then remove, and pat dry. When tempeh has finished steaming, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tempeh, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and allow to cool.
  • Whisk together ranch dressing, milk, garlic, dill, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cooled tempeh, drained garbanzo beans, bell pepper, celery, red onion, and romaine lettuce. Toss until the salad has been well coated in the dressing. Gently fold in the blue cheese, then season to taste with salt.

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I'll have to substitute another nut.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm always looking for new ways to incorporate more plant-based proteins into my diet. This salad is a great way to do that. The tempeh is a good source of protein and fiber, and the salad is packed with other healthy ingred

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a strong blue cheese. Next time I'll use a milder cheese.
