Buffalo Tempeh Salads | Vegan, Healthy Dinner Meal

These buffalo tempeh salads have quickly become a weekly dinner option for Will and I since summer started. Some days you just really can’t bring yourself to turn on the oven so these tempeh salads are the perfection solution. You also have to serve it with some ranch dressing since buffalo and ranch are a perfect match. The rest of the salad add-ins are totally up to you!

Buffalo Tempeh Salad | Healthy, Vegan Dinner Recipe

When I posted the photo of this salad on instagram, a lot of people mentioned that they had never used buffalo sauce on tempeh before and I was like “OMG – you have to try it!”. Tempeh is seriously like a sponge and just soaks up all that buffalo sauce. I think it would be a great way to introduce a newbie to tempeh since buffalo sauce is such a familiar ingredient and it pairs so well with the mild flavor of tempeh!

      Hi Julie, I updated the recipe recently and forgot to remove that step about the butter – thanks for the heads up! The recipe is updated now so there’s no butter.
