Grilled Peach and Tempeh Salad
This is a great salad for summer, it’s easy to make, and it’s affordable! Another great benefit to this salad is that it is full of protein. Remember that tempeh has a high amount of protein as much as beef, but far less fat and almost no cholesterol. So this is a great meal for someone that has just finished a workout and needs protein, and doesn’t want to erase their gains with fat and cholesterol.
