Avocado BLT salad with Tempeh

Servings: 4

Ingredients: 

2 heads of romaine lettuce 

1 large tomato

2 avocados 

2 Tbsp hemp seeds 

1 package of Non-GMO Tempeh

Marinade: 

1/4 cup coconut aminos

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 

1 tsp garlic powder 

1 tsp smoked paprika 

1 Tbsp organic maple syrup (or alternative sweetener) 

Directions: 

Slice tempeh into ¼ inch slices. Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and let the tempeh marinate for 20 minutes, up to overnight. Pour the entire recipe, tempeh and liquid, into a pan on medium heat. Let the tempeh steam and the marinade cook down. Allow the marinade to completely cook down until you are left with a dry pan. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and brown the tempeh for a few minutes on each side. Remove from heat. Assemble salads with a bed of romaine using half of a head of lettuce, half an avocado, diced, a few slices of tomato, and tempeh. Top with hemp seeds.
