Tempeh “Tuna” Style Salad
Tempeh “Tuna” Style Salad delivers a convincingly ocean-kissed flavor from seaweed flakes paired with bright lemon, tangy pickles, and a creamy soy mayo finish. Grated tempeh gives a flaky, satisfying texture while crisp celery and red onion add refreshing crunch. Serve it piled into sandwiches, tucked in lettuce wraps, or spooned over greens for lunch or a light dinner.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
