Crispy Tempeh and Grilled Tomato Salad Recipe

This recipe is super quick and easy: you can cook the tempeh and the tomatoes, make the dressing and even chop all the salad ingredients the day before. Then just heat the tomatoes and tempeh in the oven for 15 minutes before dinner, then lovingly mix them with the salad and dressing just before you sit down to eat.
