Mama's Tempeh Curry Salad

So simple, so good

This is my go to "make lunch to last the week" recipe. My wonderful mother first turned me onto this very simple recipe. Her version uses chicken as the protein, which is equally as delicious, but I love the taste, convenience, and price of tempeh.

Not until moving to New York did I realize my fortune for having two local tempeh shops in Gainesville. Jose and Art's, each deserving merit, were abundant and affordable. Brooklyn, and the surrounding Burroughs, however haven't jumped on the tempeh wagon. All that we have here is tasteless, vacuum-sealed rubber. A sorry excuse for tempeh to say the least. 

There is little that compares to moist, nutty, made with love tempeh and it pains me to see a place to full of variety so deprived of such a delicious protein. Now that I have ranted I present to you homemade Curry Tempeh Salad served with Onion Carrot bread from The Flour Pot, a great bakery in Gainesville, Florida.
