18 Reviews of Tempeh "Chicken" Salad

Well, I haven't had real chicken salad in ages (so I'm not going to compare) but this turned out a very delicious lunch, wrapped it in a tortilla with a little lettuce. The salad has a little crunch from the veggies and the pickle gives a little kick. I used a homemade soy mayonnaise, so had to add even more salt and pepper because it was pretty bland stuff (MY mayo, that is!) I'm sure regular mayo would have been even better, but I'm not going there! Just a note: I accidentally simmered my tempeh much longer than stated, and it turned out fine. So if anyone leaves it on the stove a little too long, all is not lost!!!

I am new to tempeh, never had the stuff until I found it in the store one day. Looks really weird. I got home, came to look for a recipe and found yours. I could hardly wait for the salad to chill for 30 minutes. I was eating it out of the bowl going to the fridge. Very good salad. Thanks

For my first time using tempeh, this was very good. I ate it plain but it would be good in a sandwich.I added a spoonful of sweet relish to this. Thank you for pointing out about cooking the tempeh before using.

Like so many others, I was a tempeh "virgin" and this recipe sounded wonderful. I didn't have any red pepper or fresh parsley, and I subbed pickle relish for the chopped dill pickles, and this still turned out impressively. I used the spicy brown mustard, too. Tastes like that fancy schmancy chicken salad with the pecans in it, thanks to the nutty taste from the tempeh. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!

This was great! Added a teaspoon of garam masala to the mayo (used regular) before mixing it with the salad. Thanks for giving me a new idea using tempeh. I usually fry it and have it in stews, currys and the like. This "chicken" salad will be made many more times. Thanks a lot for posting.

This was fabulous! I haven't tried Tempeh before as it hasn't previously been available in my town. I can see this becoming one of those dishes I cook often.

I found the tempeh to be too much. I prefer it more disguised by other flavors and veggie. It was edible but I won't make it again.

This was really good. I brought it to a potluck and everyone loved it. Very easy to make too. Didn't have all ingredients but included what I had and added a few other things.
