This Curry Tempeh Salad is adapted from a recipe one of my girl friend’s makes when we get together. I have fond memories of her popping open a tupperware brimming with this spicy, sweet mixture, and everyone gathering around the kitchen island to dip, dunk and scoop it onto crackers, bread, and lettuce boats.
I love to make a big batch on Sunday for a week of quick lunches. As the flavors develop, it gets better with each day.
