Southwest Tempeh Chorizo Salad

Southwest Tempeh Chorizo Salad

Crisp lettuce holds a taco's worth of flavor in this substantial salad. The tempeh chorizo brings the spice, while cool avocado and crunchy tortilla strips keep each bite lively.

Butter Club Notes

This is the kind of salad that doesn’t feel like a compromise. You get black beans, tempeh chorizo, pico de gallo, avocado, asadero, and those crispy corn strips all working together. The chipotle ranch pulls everything in the same direction, and the lettuce is really just the fresh, crunchy base holding the whole thing up. If someone tells you salads aren’t filling, hand them this one.
