Fattoush Salad w/ Crunchy Tempeh Topper

Fattoush Salad w/ Tempeh Topper

Our take on the refreshing and simple (yet amazingly delicious) middle eastern salad! Our Tempeh Crumble plays the part of "topper" to give this already incredible dish a huge boost of protein and fibre. It also infuses the fattoush salad with flavour and crunch as well.
