Notes

  • Ditch the oil: Substitute the oil for vegetable broth, aquafaba, or water.
  • Soy Allergy: Use a soy-free tempeh.
  • Spoiler Alert: Tempeh & Broccoli Caesar Salad Bowls are best eaten when served, but individual ingredients will stay fresh in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • For non vegans: Replace the tempeh with cooked chicken.
