Instructions

GRILLED PEACHES, CORN, AND TEMPEH

  • Follow the directions for BBQ tempeh, and marinate overnight.
  • Similarly, shuck the corn and place it in a ziplock bag with ¼ cup of BBQ sauce and marinate overnight.
  • Keep peaches at room temperature until cut, and then cut into equal halves, removing the pit.
  • Squeeze the juice of one-half orange on the peach halves
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high
  • Place the tempeh, peaches, and corn on the grill with the following grill times: Tempeh: 16 minutes, rotating every 4 minutes, corn: 10 minutes, rotating every 2-3 minutes peaches: 4 minutes each side.
  • Remove all grill items and allow them to cool completely before cutting.
  • Cut the corn from the cob, cut the tempeh into cubes, and peach into thin wedges.
  • In the meantime, prepare the other ingredients.

MAKING THE DRESSING

  • Place all the ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup.
  • Whisk together until smooth
  • Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Preparing the asparagus
  • Asparagus can be cut and eaten raw, or you can cook it.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Cut the asparagus' rough ends and place it on a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Then, place a single layer of asparagus on the baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus (longer time for thicker asparagus)
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

ASSEMBLING THE SALAD

  • Place a combination of arugula and Romaine lettuce in the base of each bowl.
  • Place the cooled BBQ Tempeh in the center of the bowl, surrounded by slices of grilled peaches and BBQ corn.
  • Next, place the cooled asparagus, cucumbers, mix of white and red onion slices.
  • Dress with yogurt dressing by drizzling over the top of each salad.
  • Now, dive into an incredible taste of citrus, sweet, BBQ goodness all in one salad bowl.
