Well, I haven't had real chicken salad in ages (so I'm not going to compare) but this turned out a very delicious lunch, wrapped it in a tortilla with a little lettuce. The salad has a little crunch from the veggies and the pickle gives a little kick. I used a homemade soy mayonnaise, so had to add even more salt and pepper because it was pretty bland stuff (MY mayo, that is!) I'm sure regular mayo would have been even better, but I'm not going there! Just a note: I accidentally simmered my tempeh much longer than stated, and it turned out fine. So if anyone leaves it on the stove a little too long, all is not lost!!!

Oh my gosh this was fricken fabulous!! I never know what to do with tempeh. This will absolutely be a staple recipe. Of course I did not have exactly the same ingredients (almost) and had to add some fresh minced garlic and extra extra celery. Thank you for this recipe! :)

Awesome recipe! I have shared it with everyone who has tasted it. One time I could not find the tempeh I wanted and ended up buying sesame ginger tempeh. I chopped it up and browned it first, cooled it off and mixed with the rest of the ingredients in this recipe. It was fantastic. Have been making it that way ever since. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Fan freakin tastic. Wasn't sure about the pickles and bell pepper at first, but was just delish. I used garden veggie tempeh cause that was all I had, and reduced the amounts a little bit since it was an 8oz package. This is going to be a staple for me from now on!

This was really quite good! I used Best Foods (Hellman's) mayonnaise because I like it the best. I did reduce the quantity of mayo by about half, just to decrease the fat content. Next time I will add some capers.

Delicious! Love tempeh this way. I also used an 8oz package (the whole grain one from Trader Joe's, so good), and followed your easy directions, tweaking the amounts just a bit. I like the poaching method a lot, turned out fabulously tasty with great texture. I only had sweet gerkins around, so used them along with some dill....and of course, Veganese. Thanks Kozmic!

Chicken Salad? No. Delicious? Yes. Easy? Yes. Will I make it again with tempeh? You bet! I haven't tried this variation yet, but I bet substituting chicken for tempeh would make a fantastic chicken salad too.

This is delicious! I love tempeh and am always trying to find new things to do with it. I used sweet relish instead of the pickles, and also sauteed/fried the tempeh with half of the scallions in some oil for a few minutes after boiling it. Then added some paprika and shredded carrots to the mix. Wonderful recipe!

Made this last night for my vege family. They all loved it, even my 9 year old! We don't eat tempeh too often, so I was worried they would turn their noses up, but no worries. I served it simply topped on a piece toasted wheat bread. I was thinking minced jalapeno or serrano might be good added along with the veges?

This was wonderful! This was way better than regular chicken salad. I used Three Grain Tempeh and less celery and more red pepper (just a personal preference). My husband and I are both taking the rest to work tomorrow. Thank you so much for posting!

This was great! Added a teaspoon of garam masala to the mayo (used regular) before mixing it with the salad. Thanks for giving me a new idea using tempeh. I usually fry it and have it in stews, currys and the like. This "chicken" salad will be made many more times.
Thanks a lot for posting.

This was great! I left out the red pepper and parsley, and threw in a clove of minced garlic....and used the spicy brown mustard. So good tucked into a whole wheat pita pocket. :-)

Pleasantly surprised! I admit that I didn't have high hopes for this fulfilling my chicken salad craving, but I was wrong! I tailored it to my tastes by using only 8 oz tempeh and I left out the celery and peppers. Delicious sandwich.

Very Yummy!!! I used sweet relish instead of dil since I like a slightly sweeter taste. I might try toasting walnuts and then crushing into the final product next time to see what happens. Thanks for posting!!!

This was FABULOUS!!! I cannot recommend it highly enough. I used reduced fat Vegenaise, added garlic & onion powders, and extra parsley. Oh, and I used 16 oz. of tempeh instead of 12. I loved how the tempeh tasted after simmering! (I love tempeh pretty much any way it's prepared, but this was just beyond delicious.) I left the tempeh in cubes instead of chopping it further, and I'm really glad I did. The texture was great. I ate my portion in a lettuce leaf, and my boyfriend enjoyed his in a whole wheat pita. Absolutely AMAZING! I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

This is probably our favorite lunchtime vegetarian recipe, but it was a bit bland the first time so I subbed the mayo with ranch dressing, and some of the family like to add a nice helping of salt to their servings. I also make it a day beforehand so the flavors can develop longer.

Nice way to use tempeh. It didn't taste like chicken but my husband said it was more like tuna salad. I didn't red pepper so I used yellow and I didn't have any dill pickles so I used sweet. That may have made a difference. My baby really liked it too. It was better the next day after the flavours had matured a little bit. I don't use a lot of tempeh but I'll do it like this in the future. Thanks for posting

Like so many others, I was a tempeh "virgin" and this recipe sounded wonderful. I didn't have any red pepper or fresh parsley, and I subbed pickle relish for the chopped dill pickles, and this still turned out impressively. I used the spicy brown mustard, too. Tastes like that fancy schmancy chicken salad with the pecans in it, thanks to the nutty taste from the tempeh. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!

I am new to tempeh, never had the stuff until I found it in the store one day. Looks really weird. I got home, came to look for a recipe and found yours. I could hardly wait for the salad to chill for 30 minutes. I was eating it out of the bowl going to the fridge. Very good salad. Thanks
