Quick Recipe: Homestyle Tempeh "Chicken" Salad

A friend of mine recently called upon me to recreate a couple of his favorite foods, a "chicken" salad and a Carolina bbq from a green market in Richmond, VA. He brought them over, we tasted, we examined the ingredients, we tasted, then we tasted some more. It was a really, really hard day.

But in the end, we cracked the code, and came up with some super delicious vegan delights. So now I will share with you this recipe for Homestyle "Chicken" Salad that is super easy, delicious, and really satisfying. 

Enjoy!
