  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Begin by making the smokey tempeh bacon. Combine 1/4 tsp liquid smoke, 3 tbsp tamari and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Whisk together in a shallow large bowl and toss in sliced tempeh. Make sure to coat each piece of tempeh in the sauce and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Next make vegan sour cream! (If you’re using store bought, skip this step!) Begin by discarding the water from the cashews. Combine all sour cream ingredients in a high speed blender and blend for 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Scoop out into a jar until read to use. (You will have left over sour cream but you will be so happy! It is delicious on nearly anything especially on baked potatoes!)
  4. Once the tempeh has sat for 5 minutes, lay each piece of tempeh out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in oven for 20 minutes!
  5. Meanwhile finish making the ranch dressing by combining all ingredients into a medium size bowl and whisking together until there are no lump and dressing is smooth.
  6. Once the tempeh is out of the oven and your salad ingredients are prepared and ready, assemble your salad to your liking and enjoy!
