Lemon Pepper Tempeh Bites



Lemon Pepper Tempeh Bites

Total time: 8-10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 loaf of French bread*
olive oil
1 head of romaine lettuce, shredded
1 cucumber, shaved paper thin
vegenaise (vegan mayo)
1 box of lemon pepper marinated tempeh strips (these are the kind I used: http://www.tofurky.com/tempehproducts/marinated_strips.html)
1-2 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced very small(optional)

*whole wheat French bread works wonderfully for this



Directions:
Cut the loaf of French bread into thin diagonal slices. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil onto each slice. Toast the slices in the oven or toaster oven until lightly browned. Once the slices are toasted, spread a generous amount of vegenaise onto each slice.

Top each slice of bread with a few shreds of romaine and 1-2 shaved pieces of cucumber. Cut the tempeh strips into small, 1/2 inch pieces and arrange 2-3 pieces on top of each appetizer. If using diced tomato, arrange a few dices on top of the tempeh to add color.
