Tip: This makes a big batch of “bacon” to use for future salads.
Directions
- For the bacon: Crumble the tempeh into a bowl and stir in the tamari, Farm Boy™ Amber Maple Syrup, Farm Boy™ Nutritional Yeast, and smoked paprika.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Canola Cooking Oil.
- Add the tempeh and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes. As the tempeh begins to brown, turn the heat to low so it doesn’t burn. Cook until the tempeh dries out slightly and is golden brown.
- Cool and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge.
- For the dressing: Whisk together Farm Boy™ Lemon Garlic Hummus, Farm Boy™ Lemon Garlic Dressing, Farm Boy™ Dijon Mustard, Farm Boy™ Nutritional Yeast, Farm Boy™ Vegan Parmesan-Style Shredded Cheese, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Chill until ready to use.
- For the salad: Trim the broccoli and cut into long spears. Drizzle with Farm Boy™ Canola Cooking Oil and season with salt.
- Preheat the barbecue (or indoor grill) to 400°F and lay the spears of broccoli on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, lightly charring the broccoli on all sides until tender crisp.
- To assemble, place broccoli on a platter and drizzle with dressing.
- Scatter “bacon bits” over the top and garnish with Farm Boy™ Vegan Parmesan-Style Shredded Cheese.
- Serve and enjoy!
