1 stalk celery, minced

2 tablespoons red bell peppers, minced

1 large dill pickles, minced

2 -3 scallions, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 cup soy mayonnaise

1 tablespoon yellow mustard (spicy golden brown is nice too)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Place the cubed tempeh in a saucepan of boiling, salted water.

2. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 12 minutes, drain and set aside to cool.

3. In a large bowl, combine the celery, pepper, pickle, scallion and parsley.

4. Run a knife through the cubed tempeh, just to give it a rough chop (optional, the cubes work fine too) Add chopped tempeh to the bowl, along with the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon, salt and pepper.

5. Fold everything together, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors combine. mThis will keep covered in the fridge for 2-3 days.
