Spiced Tempeh Apple Salad
Mesclun greens tossed with crisp green apple and Lebanese cucumbers. Tempeh pan-seared with honey, turmeric, and smoked paprika adds warm spice and texture.

Four servings, easy vegetarian and gluten free. Mixes crunchy, sweet, smoky, with tart and herbal notes. Ideal for spring and summer light dinners or lunch. No nuts or dairy. Quick assembly but attention for even tempeh browning and balanced acidity.
Spicy Tuna Vermicelli Salad
A quick mix of rice vermicelli and boldly spiced tuna. Fresh veggies and herbs bring crunch and fragrance. Uses chili flakes and ginger for heat, swapping lime for lemon, and soy sauce for tamari. Perfect for warm kitchens, light dinners or lunch redux from fridge. No nuts no gluten no dairy no fuss.
Light Caesar Salad Twist
A lighter rendition of Caesar salad with altered quantities, replaced smoked ham with turkey bacon and tofu mayo infused with sun-dried tomatoes. Bread toasted in avocado oil instead of olive oil for a different flavor profile. Slightly longer toasting and mixing times for deeper flavor. Crisp romaine lettuce paired with tangy cheesy notes and a creamy, plant-based dressing loaded with capers and a hint of anchovy. Crunchy croutons, crispy turkey bacon, and shaved aged Asiago cheese finish this vibrant salad.
