Ingredients

Cilantro-Basil Dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup basil leaves
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

For Tempeh

  • 8 oz. tempeh sliced into ¼ inch strips
  • 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon coconut aminos

For Bowl

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients for dressing in a blender or nutribullet and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until serving.
