  Figured it was time for some curry….
  
  It’s been a while. So I got to work.
  
  First, I chopped some of this…
  
  then I minced and grated some of this…
  
  added some of this…
  
  And this…
  
  And this….
  
  And it became this.
  
  The recipe.

  So remember that post about tempeh?
  
  Say hello your newest friend.
  
  Here is a fast and simple salad to add to your rotation. Thought for sure that the my-foodie-call kids would balk at the miso dressing. But surprisingly, things were a-okay.
  
  The aforementioned dressing.
  
  A fast fix. Seriously. I was pool-side for two hours before whipping this up.
  
  Miso Tempeh Salad
  
  Serves 5 hungry peeps.
  - 2 cloves garlic, minced
  - 1 tablespoon grated, fresh ginger (or sub 1/8 teaspoon dry ground ginger)
  - 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  - 1/2 cup olive oil
  - 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  - 2 tablespoons miso
  - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  - 1 (8 oz) package tempeh
  - 2 (5 oz) bags baby spinach leaves (or mixed greens)
  - 4 carrots, shredded (or about 2 cups store-bought shredded)
  What you do:
  
  1. Cut and cube your tempeh
  2. For your dressing: Mix together the first 7 ingredients blending well. Your best bet is to use a blender (or Vitamix), but if you have mad skills, go ahead and use a whisk.
  
  Your dressing. These 7 ingredients. (yes, that is a ginger chunk on top of the miso)
  
  Nice creamy result. Blender is best.
  
  3. Use your food processor’s shredding blade to grate those carrots.
  
  Really not hard. But you can save time by buying pre-shredded carrots.
  
  4. Distribute the greens equally on the plates. Sprinkle carrots evenly over your greens. Add your tempeh. Drizzle with your dressing.
  
  Looks pretty healthy, right?
  
  Fast and fantastic.

  What the heck is tempeh??
  
  Tempeh cut into cubes.
  
  Tempeh is a pretty fantastic protein source. For all. Not just us lone vegetarians.
  
  But what is it?
  
  Put simply, tempeh is just soybeans cooked down and slightly fermented. Do not let the word fermented scare you. The soybeans are usually combined with other grains such as barley or brown rice for a firm and hearty texture. I like it plain, sliced on a salad, but you can marinate it with barbecue sauce and make some pretty tasty sandwiches as well.
  
  Why tempeh?
  - Firm, unlike tofu (for all you tofu haters out there)
  - One serving has a whopping 18-20 grams of protein and about 10% of your calcium needs for the day
  This is what Trader Joe’s tempeh looks like, but there are many others out there.
  
  How do you eat it?
  - cut it, slice, cube, crumble it, marinate it, pan fry it…..
  Where do you find tempeh??
  - where the tofu, vegetarian meats, dairy free cheeses are at any large grocer. Stop whizzing by that section and take a look!
  Try this simple swap: Replace tempeh in place of ground beef in your next spaghetti meal. Simply crumble, pan fry for a few minutes, and add to your sauce.
  
  Remember: one simple health swap a week can add up to long-term change.
