For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled on your favorite bread, crackers, or lettuce wraps.
For a smoother consistency, pulse the cooled tempeh in a food processor instead of grating it.
Experiment with different types of seaweed flakes to find your preferred flavor profile. Nori flakes add a subtle sweetness.
If you don't have soy mayonnaise, you can use a different vegan mayonnaise or even mashed avocado for a healthier alternative.
Add a pinch of black pepper or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
This salad is best served cold, so be sure to chill it before serving.

Jan 4, 2025I was skeptical at first, but this salad is amazing! It really does taste like tuna salad, but without the fish. I will definitely make this again.
