1 head of romaine (chopped)

1/3 cup crispy chickpea

2 tbsp vegan parmesan


For the tempeh

8 oz tempeh (cubed)

3 tbsp coconut aminos

1 tsp maple syrup


For the dressing

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tbsp capers in brine

2 garlic cloves

Salt & pepper to taste


  1. In a large bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the tempeh, tamarind, lemon juice, garlic and maple syrup. Cove and place in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. While the tempeh marinades, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with olive oil.
  4. Transfer the tempeh from the bowl to the baking sheet, spreading out the cubes so they don't touch each other.
  5. Bake the tempeh for 25 minutes, flipping once in the middle of cooking time. The tempeh should be dry to the touch and getting slightly browned and crunchy. Cool slightly.
