Ingredients
- 1 package tempeh 227g
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1 cucumber
- ½ cup fresh chopped parsley
- ½ cup fresh chopped mint
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
- ¼ cup vegan feta cheese
- 1 can lupini beans 1.5 cups
- ½ small red onion diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice your tempeh into small pieces and pan fry in a nonstick pan until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Cook your quinoa according to package directions and let cool. You can speed up the cooling process by spreading your cooked quinoa onto a place and placing it in the fridge.
- Chop up the rest of your veggies and add to a large bowl.
- If you don’t like the strong bite of onions, you can soak your diced onions in water for 10 minutes. This will remove the bite; you won’t get onion breath when you eat them!
- Add the rest of your ingredients into your bowl and toss to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy.
