Protein-Packed Tempeh Kale Salad With Lemon Dressing

All hail the magnificent kale. Worship the leafy lady with this delicious, plant-powered and protein-packed kale salad. The tempeh and chickpeas make this salad stick, and the crunchy apples and lemony dressing add a burst of freshness to take it to the next level.

Feel mega-healthy with this beautiful salad, which comes together in mere minutes. If you’re feeling #fancy, add whatever nuts and dried fruit you may have around your apartment. My favorite is sunflower seeds and golden raisins, but walnuts, almonds, dried cranberries or tart cherries… anything will do.

This is 1 of 7 meals from the round-up How to Make a Week’s Worth of Vegan Meals for Under $30 From Trader Joe’s.
