This Turkish tempeh salad is one of my favorite go to meals when I want something nourishing but don't have much time. The whole thing comes together in under an hour, and most of that is just cooking the tempeh. What I love most is how tempeh packs so much protein that you'll feel completely satisfied, making it perfect for lunch or a light dinner. The pomegranate molasses gives everything this beautiful tangy depth that feels fancy, but honestly it's so simple to throw together. Fresh herbs and crisp vegetables make it taste like summer on a plate, and your wallet won't take much of a hit either.
